This remains our most popular session bitter. Pale in colour, now with five varieties of hops!
Challenger, East Kent Goldings, Pioneer, Mosaic and Styrian Goldings hops provide a full range of floral and citrus aromas, and a moreish bitterness that drinks superbly down the glass.

Cask at Hopmaster General, Rushden. Light to mid-gold, slightly hazy. A film of white head on top which leaves a fair bit of lacing. A light aroma with some kumquat and melon notes. There's some leafy hop flavour mid-sip, but the taste is malt-led, bittersweet and earthy. Light berry notes on the aftertaste. Fairly simple stuff, but it's in perfect condition which makes me appreciate it that little bit more.

Cask at PoW, Farnborough. A hint of apple vinegar to the aroma. Bright gold. Frothy but blotchy white head. Initially malty and a tad sour, before it gains a molasses sweetness. Light to medium bodied. Watery. Flat. Abrupt finish. The current session beer at the PoW, which is fitting. Easily drinkable due being easily downable. Not much to it.

Cask at the Prince of Wales, Farnborough. A pales straw with ring of white head; floral aroma; a crisp bitterness from the start with a touch of citrus; and a lingering fruity bitterness to finish. Very easy drinking and moreish.

Cask at the Le Gothique’s Halloween Beer Festival 2013. Poured a slightly hazy pale gold colour with a rocky white head and good lacing. Malty aroma with hints of soft fruit and hay. Flavours of crisp hops, grain and straw. Earthy finish with notes of peaches and pine needles.

Cask at Land of Liberty Peace and Plenty, Chorleywood, Herts. A golden coloured pour with a small white head on top. Hoppy, malty aroma. Tastes hoppy, malty, some lemon. Not exactly mind blowing but OK.

Cask at the Grape and Grain, Crystal Palace. Honey coloured pour with a white head. Fruity old nose, a splash of pear and stewed apple in there. Fruit filled flavours, bit of pear drop action. Bitter-fruit finish. Nice.

Cask at the Sussex Arms, Twickenham Green, 12/01/13. Clear pale golden with a thin white head that retains well. Nose is light citrus, some pine, pale malt, grain, barley. Taste follows - light hoppage, pale malt, grass. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Ok - nothing to shout about!

(Cask at Priory Arms, Stockwell, London, 21 April 2012) Golden colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, malty nose with notes of biscuits, citrus and grass. Malty, fruity taste with biscuity malt, grass, citrus and slightly dusty hops in a finish with a gentle bitterness. Rather light body, with balanced sweetness. Not really exciting, but decent and quite drinkable.
