A refreshing light golden brew, whose flavour is complex and mellow with a finely balanced floral aroma and smooth bitterness.

Cask at GBBF ’15, day 1, 11/08/15. Clear golden with a moderate off White swirl that dissipates to edgeing. Nose is pale malt, straw, melon. Taste comprises lemon rind, bread dough, straw, grain. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Whelming affair ... yawn.

Cask at GBBF 2015. Glowing florescent yellow, candy like, flat. Malty honey, sugar. Yuck nose. Minerals, cleaning compounds, honey. Terrible. Sweet and stringent together. Oily palate.

Cask gravity at GBBF 2015 day 1. Clear light golden coloured pour with a fine white head. Aroma is light grains, faint dirty citrus. A bit rustic on the nose. Flavour is composed of wheat grains, English yeast, plastic, stale grains. Palate is light, lowish carbonation. Boring.

Chelmsford Beer Festival. Cask. Clear gold beer, a few white bubbles for a head. Palate is light and semi dry. Mild pale malts, trace of banana ester. Very light marmalade orange. Light finish. Okay but a bit underwhelming.

Cask at Wetherspoons, Milton Keynes. Light gold, very little head but decent lacing. Hints of grapefruit and spruce in the very muted aroma. Taste is pleasant - light, fruity and bittersweet - but not all that exciting really. Some bitter hop in the finish and aftertaste. One of those beers that you can’t fault, and you wouldn’t rule out having again, but doesn’t excite you. The craft scene has really spoiled me, I would have been thrilled by this a few years ago.

Superb looking golden ale backed up with a half decent aroma, disappointing taste though.
