Nice looking golden ale with small white head but also a fine body that retains a pleasant and light malty taste.

Another IPA from Greene King! This one came in a clear 500ml bottle (best before Aug 2013): poured into an Abbot Ale glass tankard during Aug 2012. Lager like: clear golden body with a thin white head on top. Lemon/citrusy nose and taste, a bit too well carbonated (slightly too fizzy for me). As the beer warmed in the glass it became a little fruiter and sweeter; malty notes started to arrive. It still however had a hop bitter finish and I found it quiet refreshing and pleasant (apart from the fizziness) for a beer from a brewery that I’m not overly keen on.

Cask at the Redbridge, Andover. An attractive bright golden amber colour with a tight white head; aroma of citrus, peach and biscuit; dry and fruity flavour with a light floury body that’s rather thin; then some light dusty hops before a dry fruity finish. Not too challenging and quite refreshing.

Cask at the Red Lion, Twickenham, London. A rare GK beer! Pours clear, yellow-gold with a tight, white cream head. Nose is all sunny straw with nips of lemon. Has a lightly sweet flavor with plenty of biscuity malts, light dough and some sweet lemon and light lime, too. Light bodied with fine, smooth carbonation. Very good condition. Mild sweetness on the finish with lightly toasted dough, white sugar, wimpy lemon and other citrus, and some faintly tangy grass. It’s a pretty standard golden ale, but it does refresh a good bit.

500ml bottle. Pours orange gold with a small head. Aroma is buttery citrus. Taste has butter to start with a nice lemon finish. Could have been alright but the diacetyl ruins it.
