Pours a golden colour with a moderate ammount of head. Light, hoppy aroma. Somewhat predictable hoppy flavour with a little malt in their for balance. Not bad, but nothing particularly unique.

Cask-conditioned at the JDW pub, Chancery Lane, London WC2, 9/7/07. Golden with a lacy white head. This was seriously dull. The aroma was of tired hops followed by flavours of more hops which had seen better days.

Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell. Pale gold in colour, with a frothy white head; fresh hoppy smell, with a trace of yeast; chewy in the mouth with a sweet fruity start, and plenty of hops; leading to a pleasantly sharp grapefruit aftertaste. An excellent golden ale.

(Cask at Wenlock Arms, London, 25 Nov) Pale amber colour with small white head. Fruity nose with citrus, grapefruit and floral hops. Fruity taste with notes of grapefruit, lemon and a nice hoppy bitterness in the finish. A nice, hoppy golden ale.

Cask gravity at Kent BF. I fall somewhere in between spiesy’s comments and those from duff and chris_o. Slightly yeasty nose on this golden beer with some citrus and hoppy dry finish. I found it very drinkable without it being outstanding
