Cask at Reading Beer Festival. Dark brown. Pleasing light hoppy smell. Bland and watery on tasting, just a little toast and mild fruit. They’ve managed to do what they said; it’s a dark beer that tastes like a golden ale. Unfortunately it’s one of those rather drab and dull golden ales that so dominate the market these days. Shame.

(Cask at Craft Beer Co Islington, London, 30 Nov 2014) Dark brown colour with hints of ruby. Frothy beige head. Malty, slightly fruity nose with notes of caramel, red fruit and dark bread. Malty, slightly fruity taste with caramel, dark fruit, a touch of chocolate and gentle spicy bitterness. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Nothing strange, just plain good beer, tasty and very well balanced. Nice one.
