Clear golden ale, bubbly white head. Light zesty aroma. Flavour is tangy citrus, a bit of bitter grassy hop. Follows through into the aftertaste nicely too. It does pretty much the same as what many pales of this type aim for but it actually holds its flavour as opposed to descending into a watery nothing. Solid

Cask at GBBF 2016. It pours clear amber with a small white head. The aroma is soft, sweet, bready, toasted grain, cereal and porridge. The taste is smooth, bitter, chewy malt, porridge, peppery spice, white bread, hint of lemon and grain with a dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. A pretty run of the mill malt-led golden ale.

On cask at Au Bar. Appearance - golden with a proportionate head and a slight haze. Nose - lemon and flowers. Taste - more citrus with mineral note underneath. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - a humid evening and just what the beer doctor would’ve ordered.
