Crystal malt - golden brown, with rounded malt and hops throughout, and that characteristic afterbite of a true craft brew that makes a favourite.

500ml bottle: BBD 18th Oct 18. Shared with my wife at home on 26th Apr 17, Leffe badged chalices being the vessels we used. Golden bodied, clean and clear, wispy white head that soon left the scene. Initial sniff and sip was encouraging, but the beer went down hill pretty swiftly. The biscuity malts and mild citrus nose seemed to turn a little metallic, as did the taste, what flavours remained appeared bland and uninteresting. Sad really because I do not like ’kicking’ the small guy normally.

Bottle shared at Leighton’s place. 25/08/2015. Isle of Wight tick. Clear golden / yellow coloured pour a thin white head. Aroma is skunky chive, little diacetyl, faint caramel, veg matter. Flavour is composed of light grains, dry, light chive, nutty malts, Palate is light grainy, dry finish, moderate carbonation. Low boost gold, pretty boring.

Bottle thanks to Fergus. It pours clear gold with a small white head. The nose is toasty, grainy, light grass, mild herbal and white bread. The taste is crisp, clean, toasty grain, lemon rind and cereal with a dry finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Simple, clean and easy going golde.

Bottle shared in London - cheers to Fergus. Pours crystal clear gold with a slight, foamy white head. Sugary pale bred in the nose, some straw. Light sweet flavor with basic dry pale malts, light lemon rind, hay. Lily bodied with average carbonation. Pretty clean finish, some grain husk, light grass. OK.

On gravity at the White Lion, Bristol, January 2015. Golden with a slight, off-white, head. Sweet, caramel and bready malts, a hint of stone fruits and short, bitter finish. Ok.
