Golden ale with a thin broken head. Malty in character, both aroma and flavour.

Bottle at home in London with Lyoli. Pours clear gold with a fine, white foam head. Toasty hay nose, some baked leaves, light toasty dough. Light to medium sweet flavor with a bit of wet leaf bitterness, some crunchy grains, toasted bread. Light bodied with average carbonation. Pretty mellow finish, light dry hay and leaves, some further toasty malts. Very basic stuff but quite satisfying nonetheless.

The flavour of this one is fairly balanced but leaning towards sweet. Drinkable but a shade bland.

My first ever visit to ‘The Southampton Arms’ (London)and one of the many cask offerings was this beer: my fourth beer of a slow Saturday afternoon session (Feb 2012) was a hand-pulled pint of this, poured into an old ‘dimpled pint mug’, like all the cask ales are in this pub. Pale for a winter brew, it almost looks like a dark lager/pilsner: golden, clear and with a thin white covering for a head. The nose is a pleasant blend of mild biscuit malts and some floral hop smells. Taste wise it comes alive: a hop bitterness combined with a citrus and spicy feel give the malt content something to think about, the malts respond by hitting your taste buds with non-sweetened caramel biscuits and a toffee apple. A great last pint before moving on into central London for a Film Festival.
