It’s a 4.8% abv golden beer with fragrant citrus/floral aromas and a deep citrus bitterness. It is brewed with a blend of American hops, such as Willamette, Amarillo, Cascade, Centennial, Chinook and Citra, and Pale Ale malted barley, along with some Munich malt, Crystal malt and malted wheat give a biscuity backbone to the citrus from the hops.

Cask handpull at Knights Templar Spoons. Gold slight haze lasting sparse white head. Sherberty American hops on aroma. Not particularly strong hop though through rest of it. Its more an English golden ale than an American Pale Ale. A bit watery in the swallow. An ok golden ale with some interesting hop flavours but perhaps would be better warmer and in better condition. Still above average. 3.3/5.0 re-rate at folkestone spoons. Lots more usa hops than before. Very drinkable.

Cask at the Argyll Arms, Nicholson’s, London. Pours a clear, bright gold with a creamy, white cap. Toast, light ripe fruits and caramel in the aroma. Tangy fruit flavor, bit more caramel and toasted malts. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet, light sticky sugar finish, some brown sugar, toast and still some caramel to be had. OK.

Cask at the Plough & Harrow (JDW), Hammersmith. Copper with a thin cream head leaving lots of lacing; big aroma of American hops; thick and resinous in the mouth with a flavour of bitter orange marmalade; then a deep dry bitter finish. I really enjoyed this.
