Keg at MSBH 2026. It pours clear yellow - gold with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is freshly cut grassy, floral accents, twist of citrus and fluffy malts. The taste is pleasingly clean, crispy, snappy, muted bitterness, grassy, herbal, floral, straw and a twist of citrus. Lightish body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Nice summer quencher. Morish.

Christmas present from the Mrs. Clear gold. Thick foamy white head. Aroma has citrus, a touch of quinine. Underlying damp fruit and malts. Medium bitter. Sour tangy citrus. Underlying malts. A dryness to the flavours. Develops a sweeter underbelly. Light. Slick. Prickly carbonation combines with a long dry somewhat astringent finish. Undoubtedly old school - certainly seems to have been gone from Golden Ale status to being described as a Pale Ale complete with an array of US hops - but actually quite punchy, despite not being overly interesting.
