A strong pale ale of distinctive taste. Plenty of Goldings hops give it something extra. Like sunshine dancing on your tongue.

An orange-brown beer with a quite weak and white head. Aroma is interesting, maltyness, toffee, chocolate and tobacco. Taste is malty, grass, toffee and hint of tobaccos and hint of citrusfruits. The end is quite dry with herbal bitterness. Medium bodied, smooth and nice to drink. Interesting flavours, definedly this beer would need another tasting before last judgement. The bottle is propably quite old. Now with more fresh bottle (27.06.2013, BBE 17.02.2014; the points are the same) the hops are more dominating and overally more sharp touch.

(bottle) Clear, golden colour with a medium-sized, slightly off-white foamy head. Citrus-fruity and herbal-minty hoppy aroma with mildly nutty notes and a tinge of caramel. Sweet-bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a soft carbonation. Cara-malty and slightly nutty taste with fruity noble hops; rounded malty, slightly fruity and spicy hoppy finish. A well-crafted Ale. 10.XII.10

[Bottle at the Good Food Show, NEC, Birmingham] Pale amber, slight white head, moderate fizz. Grass, wheat chaff and honey with a slight bitterness in the finish. A bit oily and rather bland.

Golden brown with excellent beige head. Tangy malty aroma. Medium body, light carbonation. Malty with a pleasant bitter finish. Well balanced, easy drinking but unexceptional beer.
