Bottle from Waitrose. Drunk at home. Gold with an orange, almost iced tea tinge. Very little head or visible carbonation. Light scent of orange peel, some light peppery spice, hay. Simple bittersweet taste with a a herbal note to the long and more bitter finish. Simple but the balance is commendable. Very refreshing in the bottle; I can imagine that this might be a shade duller in cask.

Bottle at home. Bought at Waitrose, West Byfleet. Sweet floral and hay aroma. Bright gold. Some traces of white head, but barely spiderswebs. Medium bitter - malt and pepper. The latter especially in the long finish. Watery. For a gold at least it has that peppery edge.

Big thanks to Daniel for this one. Always a kick to try a new (or in this case old) hop. Bright clear gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is light, semi dry and has good fine carbonation. Very light malts, a natural smooth grain shows through, modestly sweet and mildly nutty. Hops bring a decent floral bitterness with a pleasant tangy citrus - orange and orange peel in there. Trace of esters before the light finish. Was expecting this hop to be mostly floral bitterness but there is a decent amount of citric character. Hope Kernel do an IPA with it!

500ml bottle into an Abbot Ale glass tankard at home on 2nd July 2016. Poured a clear, light amber colour, the head a full, uneven white foam blanket, bubbles rising to replenish it through the clean brew. Aroma is of light malts and herbal notes: taste is more hop oriented with a pepper like bite to the bitterness. Liked it.
