Cask at the Nelson prior to another Ipswich home draw. Aroma of toffee, malts, floral and hints of berry. Taste is malty toffee berries. Very smooth and enjoyable to drink. Like this.

Half pint, cask, shared with Finn at Murderers. Close to clear, warm golden body, fair lacing from a low, white head. Grassy hops on the nose. Blended taste profile of mid-sweet malts, ripe lemon, and grass. Moderate, clean bitterness to the ending. Pretty fair. (Norwich 11.11.2021).

Cask at the Duke of Wellington, Norwich, 20/11/16. Clear golden blonde with a moderate off white head. Nose is straw, pale malts, grains, lemon rind. Taste comprises citric drizzle, bready malts, straw, grains, grass. Medium bodied, soft catbonation, semi drying close. So so gold ... Whelming stuff ... yawn.

Cask handpull at the Shadingfield Fox, Suffolk. Pours straw coloured with a small lasting white head. Light fruity floral aroma. Quite sweet, very light bitterness. Light body, texture is creamy. Dry fruity finish. Nice one.

Cask at the Kingston Arms, Cambridge on 24 November 2013. Poured a slightly hazy, pale golden colour with a tight white head. Aroma had definite hints of stem ginger along with floral hops and honey. Flowery hops at the fore with notes of grain and pineapple. Finish had corn, cereals and wet grass. Fairly uninspired golden ale, with a couple of jarring flavours...

500ml bottle @ home on 27 Dec 2012: bottle best before Sep 2013, poured into a UK pint sleeve. Very pale and cloudy body: the sort of colour you’d phone the doctor about if you’d passed it! Especially if you had the same head of white foam on top. Citrus notes run through the whole brew: both the nose and taste dominated by the hop content with the malts and honey (used in the brew) not really getting a look in. Yeasty at times, but those heavy lemon and grapefruit citrus flavours soon take over again. Not a huge citrus hop fan, but this was OK.

50cl bottle from the Sainsbury’s beer hunt range. Pale straw with a fast fading white head; slightly musty honey aroma; clean refreshing flavour - some citrus, and a grainy body; and a crisp bitterness to finish with a touch of sweetness from the honey. Rather good.
