Deep gold. Its deep golden colour is achieved with combination of pale crystal and Caramalts, whilst a floral balanced bitterness comes from a combination of Slovenian and American hops.

Cask half-pint in Oakham, Rutland on 15th March 2016. Deep amber body with a weak off-white head. The nose had a caramel lead with a floral hop hint, taste wise it was also sweet caramel with a hop content that tried to calm down the sweetness. Decent brew, suited my sweet tooth.
