Tasting at Leighton’s Flat. Almost clear gold beer, tidy pale cream colour head. Like the Amber this has quite a lactose nose. Sweet pale malts. Sourish tangy dried fruits. Orange peel bitterness. Light semi dry finish. Meh!

Bottle thanks to Leighton. It pours clear golden-amber with a small white head. The nose is toast, grainy, sherbet, orange peel, grass and earth. The taste is crisp, bitter, sherbet, metallic notes, orange peel, toast, dough and cereal with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. More punchy hops please. A simple APA.

Taste is initially slightly sweet pale malty, flat bitter and minimally citrusy hoppy, a touch of gooseberry; bitter and chalky finish. Light, flat, slightly watery.

From London Beer Market and drunk at home. Clear gold lasting off white head. Oooh lovely diacetyl on the aroma.. It’s ok in the mouth, clean. Some hop on the finish, but the buttery diacetyl is all over this beer I am afraid. Lasting light bitterness on the finish. I’m a straight up pale ale with diacetyl.
