500ml bottle - a rusty brown body, thin white head, bit of a citric hoppy nose. First taste is strong citrus, bitter after taste, but with notes of caramel and dried fruits. Not bad, I remember this being better in the Lakes on cask, but not bad nonetheless.

On tap at Craft. Very light haze on this gold beer. Light palate, smooth mild carbonation. Whisper of sulphur. Mild minerals. Very mild citrus. Bordering on insipid - just about saved by whispers of orange and honey.

Cask-conditioned at the Black & Gold beer festival, the Gryphon, Bristol 2/9/2012. Deep gold with a slight, off-white head. Light citrus fruit and grassy hop aroma. Flavour had some summer fruits, cereal malts and decent, bitter finish. Ok.

Superb pale aroma and hopped flavour. A touch dry in the palate but tasty.

Heavy bodied with a pale ale texture, and seriously hoppy which is pleasant for the nose.
