Deep gold in color, this beer is luminous in the glass. From the very first sip, the full-bodied flavor is immediately perceptible – a balanced harmony of hop and malt aromas.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up from HOTM. Pours crystal clear light gold with a frothy, white head. Light-medium sweet flavour with pleasant biscuity malts, a hint of caramel, hay, very mild bitterness. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Decent balance in the finish, more biscuits, dough, caramel accents, hay. Drinkable stuff overall.

500ml bottle from Westhill. It pours crystal clear yellow - gold with a dissipating white head. The aroma is sweet, doughy malt, sponge cake, leafy, general fruitiness, herbal accents and spice. The taste is dry, fairly crisp, bitter - sweet, grassy, herbal, leafy, peppery spice, grainy, sponge cake, sweet doughy bread, metallic twang and some alcohol. Finish drying, yet sweet and bready. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Lacks a bit of wow factor, sits quite flat on the palate. Fair, but not up their usual snash.

Bottle. A clear pale golden colored beer with a decent white head. Some lacing. The aroma is grassy and lightly grainy, with pine cones, a touch of hay and some peppery hints. It's dry and nicely carbonated, with a soft bitterness. Pale malts and a cellar touch, piney, grassy hops and a spiced hint in the flavor. Long grassy, bitter finish. A pleasant and easy drinkable one. 201107
