Cask at GBBF 2016. Day 1. Pours clear yellow with a foamy, white head. The nose holds damp dough, light lemon rind. Light sweet flavour with notes of pale grains, more dough. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes with moderate bitterness, more pale grains, hay. Basic, but OK.

GBBF Day 1. Cask. Hazy gold beer, a few white bubbles for a head. Palate is light, semi dry and has reasonable fine carbonation. Nice combo of floralness and limey lemon citrus. Trace of tangerine. Light finish. Bright and breezy if a tad dry.

Sampled @ GBBF day 1. Slightly hazy pale yellow golden color, virtually no head. Smell and taste lightly malts, lightly hops, lightly bitter hops, only a distant fruity hint. Average to decent body, average carbonation. Ok beer.

Cask conditioned at Kent bf 2012. clear gold i had it as Andrew said it was good. Cask beer is lovely stuff when done well. That lovely mouthfeel is sublime and unlike anything else in the beer world. This has pale malt and sufficient tangerine hop to keep your mouth interested. Decent beer. Good sharp tang on the finish.
