Cask as Great Corby Blonde @ Cask 'n' Keg, Colne. Golden-blonde with a creamy head. It has a pleasant texture and a clean tasting hoppiness.

500ml bottle at home on 11th Dec 2015: poured into an Abbot Ale glass tankard. Very slight haze to the golden/blonde pour, the head a full blanket of white foam, plenty of carbonation bubbles rising through the beer. Hop dry from the start, refreshing and almost lip smacking in nature. Mild citrus feel to the bitterness, malts a long way from showing themselves, this is hop centric throughout.

Cask at the Furness Railway, Barrow-in-Furness. Light yellow to straw colour. Muted lemon-grapefruit and malt aroma, a bit floral. Nice. Refreshing taste as well. Sweet with a hint of Maltings in the backbone. Slight bitterness in the aftertaste and finish. Dry. I quite enjoyed this, it’s noticeably better than many of the identikit goldens floating about.

Bottle from Bottle Stop, Enniskillen [140614]
Golden, clear, frothy white head, slight lacing
Aroma of slight soft fruits, some damp hay, little on nose, not great
Taste of some grassy hop, soft hay, soft dull zest hop, pale caramel malts, fairly simple, not that hoppy
Palate - soft carb, medium body, quite oily, soft bitter sweet. Finish as main flavour, soft bitter zest - bit more zest comes thorough in the finish, cleans off palate
Overall - Average standard Golden Ale...not too bad
