A well hopped, yet mellow amber bitter. The subtle aroma and flavour of dark rum adds sweetness to this well balanced premium brew.

Half-pint, cask on 2nd June 2018 in The Bridge End Inn, Ruabon. White crown on a clear golden body. Light malty nose and taste, some hop action with a mild citrus note or two. No dark rum like esters or flavours found. It was fine in the afternoon sun with my best girl by my side.

Cask @ New Brew-m, Burnley. Golden and light textured, with a creamy head. Has a good malt-hop balance, without much character, but is a good session ale. There’s hints of fruit throughout and a mild sweetness in its taste, and a berry one in its nose.

(Cask at Bricklayer’s Arms) The aroma of the beer was quite malty which I wasn’t expecting based on the colour which was pale golden. One of the flavours was strawberry which I usually associate with Fuller’s brews. Quite interesting to find it in this one, too. The finish was sweet and bitter. Balanced and nice to drink.

Cask gravity at Reading BF 09. Clear gold, very lasting bubbly white head. Slightly yeasty on aroma. Not sure rum is very present. It’s got a bit of sweetness form the rum, yes definite edge to it, over a perfectly fine golden ale. Rather good.
