On gravity at AFRM Camra BF 2014. Ok golden ale. Some hop some bitterness. Some citrus. Ok if not exciting.

Bottle at home in London - picked up at Kris Wines. Well, I went to Salisbury School and our nickname was Sarum, so I had to buy this beer. Pours perfectly clear gold with moderate effervescence and a small, foamy white head that settles into a cream before dissipating fully. Simple, sugary malts in the nose with hints of apple and ripe orange. Medium sweet flavor with further basic, bready malts, touches of caramel, apple, hay. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Somewhat crisp to finish with lingering bready malts, faint dirty hay bitterness, vague citrus notes. Relatively pleasant. Easy drinking.

500ml Bottle from B&M Newport (Shropshire):BBD on the cap stated end of Aug 14. Poured into a UK pint sleeve on 18 Dec 13. Golden with a thick white blanket of foam for a head. The nose wasn’t as hoppy as I thought it would be, neither was the taste. This is more like a well balanced beer with a good hop content that is kept in check by the semi-sweet malts in the brew. The aroma was on the maltier side of the scale than well hopped, the taste followed that line: very pleasant and easy to drink, just not very IPA-ish in my eyes. Went well with ’White Stilton’ actually.

(Cask at Angleterre, 20131213) The beer poured deep golden and clear. Its head was small, dense, white and lt lasted long. Aroma had malts, molasses and sweet hops. Palate was medium bodied with low carbonation. Flavours were sweet hops, malts, molasses and bitterness. Aftertaste was grassy and bitter. A decent English IPA.

Cask@ Angleterre. Golden, frothy, creamy head. Fruity, leathery, biscuity aroma. Flavor quite the same, biscuity, dark fruity. Watery.
