Heresy is the holy grail of golden ale. Top-notch pale ale malt and Challenger hops commit the brew to spicy bitterness before Goldings set about delivering citrus and florals. This is resolute refreshment.

Handpull cask at the Cambridge Brewhouse. Light gold, clear as a bell, with a small ring of head and considerable lacing. Light but pleasant flowery aroma, with soft citrus notes. Taste is more engaging than I would have thought, and the hop more prominent: brushes of lemon curd on buttered toast follow to the mellow finish. A good cask golden ale, traditional to the core yet quite delightful.

Half pint, cask at The Railway Tavern in Chelmsford. Close to clear golden body, faomy white head blanketing the glass. Mild caramel aroma with citric notes. Mixed taste of caramel malts and lemony hops. Smooth malt-fruit bitter ending. Easy to drink. Satisfying (17.02.2017).
