Bottle at Craft Beer Co tasting. It pours light hazy orange, with a thick bubbly white head. The nose is orange, tangerine, mango and cheesy hop. The taste is resin, leather, earth, toasted malt, dust and citrus pith, with a dry finish. Light to medium body and soft carbonation. Easy drinking, not bad.

Bottle at the 1st CBC Sunday Tasting. Pours light hazy golden-brown with a small bubble head. Nutty, toasty aroma. Medium sweet flavor, great toast character, some nuts. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Fairly dry finish, more of these nuts and toast, light toasted sugar, faint citrus. Very good.

Cask at Egham USC, April 2011 beer festival. An amber coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Malty aroma. Tastes malty, hoppy. Expected better but it is still drinkable enough.

Cask, handpump at The Chequers, Oxford with Loz 30.04.11 Pours more amber than the described gold as far as I can see. Some malt shine through on an otherwise very subtle nose. Malty in the mouth with nice hoppiness although consumed alongside a Jaipur (Loz’s) it is shown up a little in that department. Good beer though. A6 A3 T7 P4 Ov13 3.3
