Hazy golden color with small head. The aroma is more herbaceous than fruity, old style, very appreciated (8-). Dry mouthfeel, not too weak despite the low alcohol, with mild malt flavor and robust bitterness; some grassy hop and light citrusy presence. It leaves a pleasant aftertaste, but more can be achieved. Very interesting in the bottle, I wish I could try it from cask.
Excellent.

On cask at Tividale FC Clubhouse - Straw coloured body with a thin white head. Citrus aroma, a bit floral. A light lemony citrus flavour with a grainy body; the a light and short grapefruit bitterness to finish. Quite pleasant.

On cask at the Wheatsheaf in Wetheral. Appearance - golden with a proportionate head. Nose - lovely lemon and gentle pale malt. Taste - lemon and grapefruit with just enough pale malt to give balance. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry but balanced finish. Overall - great golden ale.

Had this is 2013, go figure. Golden, thin head, fruity, honeyish hop character. Fresh, with a splash of sticky pale malts to complement the clementine hops.

Cask @ The Cannon, Newport Pagnell. Light gold. Smells of ammonia (read: cat piss). Some nice tropical fruit in the background. Not sure this beer is at its best. Taste is saccharin sweet but has a balancing bitter finish. Not good.

Bree Louise. Cask. Bright clear gold beer, tidy white head. Palate is light and smooth. Very modest carbonation in the light semi dry palate. Distinct honey and a little ripe orange. Light dry finish. Nice tasting beer but really needs a bit more decent carbonation.
