April 2015: Cask half pint at The Chambers, Gloucester. Golden colour, small white head, nice lacing. Nice aroma of fruity hops (my guess would be Styrian Goldings - or even some American hop?). Fruity hops in the flavour too, with a finely balanced bitterness.

Appearance is amber, golden tinge, clear, hardly any head. Aroma is tropical fruit, caramel, biscuity malt, hops. Taste is cardboard malt, bitter hop hints, traces of fruit, mostly a bit of an unusual cardboardy taste with hint of ashtray. Maybe a bad batch.

Bottle at home, 10/08/19. Mr Gary Usher … cheers … no need for this on a 3.9% gold unless infected I'd imagine? Lightly hazed golden orange with a big old off white cap of bubbles. Nose is bitter orange, straw, grains, crackers, melon. Taste comprises mellow citric zest, tangerine, grass, airy malts. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with light bitterness. I've had worse and it didn't taste of any infection tbh so not sure why the explosion !!!

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Appearance - slight gusher on opening. Golden with big fluffy head. Nose - lemon and lime pith. Slight sherbet. Taste - more pith and sherbet. Something green stalky too. Palate - light bodied and creamy in texture. Dry, pithy and possibly slightly wild/infected on the finish. Overall - decent but doubtful if it's in exactly the peak condition the brewer would've intended.

11/6/2019. Cask at Gloucester Brewery’s Tank tap house, Gloucester. Pours dark gold with a small off-white head. Aroma of hops, malt, fruit, flowers, caramel and biscuit. Moderate sweetness and medium bitterness. Moderate body, watery texture, soft carbonation. Light, dry, floral, biscuity finish. Quite drinkable.

Cask at the Old Red Cow. A gorgeous fruity aroma of mango and I swear some peach, but there was no sign of them in the taste. This is a gentle, very English, golden ale with lots of bitter and fruity hops and well balanced malt. There was lots of flavour for such a low abv and it was so good I followed it up with a second.

Cask at the Greyfriar, Reading. A pale amber pour with a loose white head that laces the glass; fresh orangey citrus aroma; rather thin in the mouth with the taste of a weak tropical fruit squash; then a dry finish. Another disappointment from this brewery,
