Bottle from Sainsbury's, Salford. Golden with a small head and a golden style ale with a pleasant hoppy light sweetness. This is a tasty session brew.

Golden colour with no head. It's really bland and a bit stale. Not at all zesty. Tastes like old cardboard

Bottle f on M & S. Clear golden pour, foamy head fades away. Malty aroma, grainy, mild sweetness. Taste brings a hint of caramel, light bittering hops and more rich malty flavors.

Bottle from Morrisons. Pours a clear light golden colour with a thin throthy white head. Aromas of biscuits, honey, apples and light floral. Taste is floral, biscuits, light honey and a touch of citrus and peppery spice on the lightly grassy finish. Thinnish body and slightly oily mouthfeel. Nice and fresh. Enjoyed this good beer.

Cask at Old Reine Deer, Banbury. Pours a slightly cloudy pale straw with a scummy white head. Has a vague aroma, mainly of caramel. Mainly malts in the mouth, together with biscuits, lemongrass and citrus hops. Finish is a slightly unpleasant general bitterness. I wasn’t too keen on this one.

Re rate. A straight down the line golden, with plenty of bitterness. I nibbled a bit of Stilton alongside and it was a perfect match. Something to bear in mind for future cheeseboards

500ml bottle. Pours slightly cloudy yellow, thin head, some retention. Aroma of malts, citrus, a little spice. Taste is citrus, tea, biscuit with a nice long bitterness in the finish. A standard citrus blonde but the long bitter note elevates it a little.
