Cask gravity at Firkin Alehouse Folkestone. Slight haze deep gold colour lasting white head. I mean it's got lots of hops. Very citrusy just a bit harsh for me. Very bitter and dry.

The flavour is moderate bitter light sweet, with a crisp, light, fresh, citrus fruit, light buttery yeast, light dry hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

Tap at Schilling Brewing Co, Glasgow. Hazy golden colour, white foam head leaving alittle lacing and zesty citrus hoppy aroma. Taste is malt caramel with juicy fruity citrusy orange, tangerine, grapefruit along with hop resiny light bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry hoppy finish. Quite drinkable.

Cask half-pint in Pursuit of Hoppiness, Exeter on 13th July 2018. Golden amber body, off-white crown. Citrus esters and flavours rule this brew, refreshing and summery.

Bottle at home, from RS HW, 27/10/17. Hazed golden orange with a big egg shell white head. Nose is tangerine, straw, bread dough, melon. Taste comprises citric sherbets, soft breads, grains, lemon rind, tangerine, straw. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a juicy hop splash. Decent hoppy pale ... probs more an APA for me than a golde.
