An elegant and refined golden premium beer to appeal to all tastes. Perfectly balanced tropical citrus hops and subtle french toast malts – this remarkably vivid and refreshing ale is fiendishly easy drinking!

A golden beer with a frothy head. A hoppy, slightly zesty aroma. The taste matches but is ever so slightly bland. Not unpleasant, just nothing special.

Cask@GBBF2010. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is fruits, nuts, wood and some mild earthy and honeyish notes. Flavour is much the same along with some hay and mild grassyness. Fruity and grassy aftertaste.

(Cask at New Oxford, Salford, 23 July 2009) Copper colour with brief, off-white head. Malty nose with dried fruit, prunes, dried apricots and a touch of sweet malt. Malty, fruity taste with dried fruit, apricots, orange and a balanced bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with some malt sweetnees throughout. Nice and tasty beer.

Cask at Merton Summer Beer Festival 06-07-07 . Warm golden colour with white head, quite fruity and sweet bitterness ok, but overall felt a bit disappointed by this beer, never really did much for me A6 A3 F5 P3 Ov11 2.8 Had this again at The Hop Pole, Aylesbury, Bucks 20-07-09 Pours gold with a tiny white head. The aroma is slightly boozy and malty. Taste is quite strong, its malty, alcohol is there and its also a little dry at the end, much better beer than I recall so re-rated. A6 A3 F7 P3 Ov14 3.3
