This light golden premium bitter has a delicate hop aroma and a soft (yet full-bodied) hop flavour on the palate, leading to a smooth taste and a lasting, dry, rounded finish.

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol 22/05/10. Deep gold in colour with no head. Butterscotch aroma with some citrus hop. Sweet, diacetyl laden flavour, with some orange fruit and hoppy, dry finish. Unbalanced.

Cask (Liberty Bounds JDW,London) - Golden in colour. Hoppy and fruity aroma. Bitter tasting with some lemon and spicy malt notes. A bit flat and disappointing.

Cask gravity at Planet Thanet BF 08. Bright bottled and drank on the train on the way home. Its clear gold with a lasting white head. Some butteryness on aroma. It’s kept it’s chill from the festival. Flavour and drinkability improve as it goes down. Slight cheddar cheese edge to the hops. Lasting tingling stinging hop finish. Odd strong golden ale as starts badly but gets better. A Summer Lightning wannabe but less aroma. Good drinkability though.

Cask. Hazyish amber colour, mediumsized off-white creamy head. Aroma is hayish and flowery. Flavour is the same, but also a lot of honey. Wooden and quite dry aftertaste.

(Cask at Oliver Twist, Stockholm, Mar 11 and rerated same place 12 Sep) Colour is pale amber. Nose is fruity, flowery with hints of oranges, mandarines, toffee and some earthy hops. Taste starts fruity (mandarine, grapefruit) with some malty sweetness, becomes more bitter towards the finish, that has a rather long metallic, dusty bitterness. Nice and refreshing.

[Cask at Cockney Pub, Århus] A hazy orange beer with a huge white head. The aroma is sweet with a hint of hops. The flavor is sweet malty combined with a strong bitterness.

Sampled cask conditioned at Akkurat, Stockholm.
Golden colour. Citric, hoppy ornagey nose with notes of levender(!?). Meduim dry, quite soft and rounded with substantial body. Flowey bitter finish. An enjoyable pint.
