Bottle on the first night in woodland drive from the Fuller's advent calendar. A clear dull gold coloured pour with a lasting loose white head. Aroma is nice earthy pale malts, straw, hedgerow hop, honeydew melon, grass, bramble, green berries. Flavour is composed of stale pale bread, hay, green berries, some mineral pithy finish. Palate is a little thin, watery, lacklustre, fine drying carbonation. Pretty decent.. Very chuggable

500ml bottle: BB 1st July 2025. Drank at home on 15th November 2024. Clean and clear golden body, fast disappearing white head. Floral aroma that turns citrussy, taste similar, grassy and thin citrus notes, slightly on the sweet side. Not too shabby for a 3.4% ABV brew.

Bottle from the Fuller's advent calendar. It pours clear golden - yellow with a small fluffy white head. The aroma is fresh and vibrant, juicy, tropical punch, tangy citrus, fresh florals and clean airy malts. The taste is crispy, dry, restrained bitterness, greenish, grassy, fragrant, floral, pithy, zesty, pithy lemon - lime, waxy grapefruit peel, clean malt base of biscuit and white bread. Light body and soft, lifting carbonation. Vibrant and chuggable. Really nice elbow abv gold.

Bottle from Tesco Brooklands. Aroma is sweet and malty with a sour edge. Popcorn. Clear light gold. Foamy translucent white head. Citrusy. Somewhat sour. Prickly. Malty. Grainy. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Average carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Punchy but still just a Gold, the ale aimed at people who preferred a lager.

Spotty beige head on a clear amber coloured body. Sweet, citrus & pale malts aroma. Medium bodied, smooth with a tingle down the throat. Citrus, grapefruit, floral & bitter hops tastes with tangy finish. That's very nice.
