A straw-coloured ale, with a high percentage of extra-pale Marris Otter malt giving some initial light, fruity sweetness. This is counter-balanced by a generous dollop of First Gold hops, leaving you with an extremely long, dry finish and a refreshing bitterness.

Gravity cask at the brewpub, Norwich. Light to mid-gold, clear with some spotty white head. White grape and gardenia in the aroma with an intensely astringent note. Tastes bitter with a suggestion of orchard fruit and lots and lots of sulphur. I don’t usually like sulphurous beers but this is OK. Approaching a Victirian-era pale ale a la White Shield, without the complexity. Still, good enough.

Leeds Beer Festival 2015. Clear golden-yellow coloured. Sticky and sweet with some honey evident, but mainly a well-balanced and easy drinking ale.

On cask at Kelham Island Tavern, Sheffield - Hazy golden body, thin white head. Nose has a musty aroma, like damp wood, with citrus and flowers. Pot-pourri almost. Taste is light, fresh and dry at the end giving a long bitter mouth clacking finish.

Cask@The Fat Cat Pub, Norwich. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is fruits, wood, some herbs, nectar and mild grassyness. Flavour iss quite similar in a pleasant balance between the floral and maltyness in the finish.

Cask from gravity at the Mermaid, St Albans, England on 7th November 2009, during a mini-festival at the pub. Pale gold with partly lasting white foam. Floral aroma with a touch of cheesiness. Excellent hop kick with grassy hop abounding leaving a bitter dry finish with just a touch of lemon on the tongue. A magnificent pint.
