A refreshing, light golden brew, whose flavour is a complex blend of mellow malt sweetness finely balanced against a subtle floral aroma and smooth bitterness.

500ml bottle from the brewery. Clear deep gold, modest foamy white head. Aroma of caramel, malt. Flavour profile is malty sweet caramel for the most part with a brisk bitterness running throughout. Fine.

Opened by the Mrs by mistake, not quite grounds for divorce, but not far off. It's a pretty standard golden ale. Nice and clear, malty, slightly buttery.

Clear and golden with a small, bubbly white head, and an aroma that carries some fruit notes alongside sweetish malt. Light bodied, with a bit of zest about it, the sweet malt and bitter hops balancing to yield a drinkable, but slightly subdued golden ale
