Cask at GBBF 2009. A bit buttery, decent hop on end. Good condition, lovely clear gold colour, thin off white head. Some white pepper on the hop. Bit too empty in the middle though. OK though. White pepper on finish is good.

Cask@GBBF 2009. Golden color, small white head, some lace. Light citrusy (lime peel) hops. Similar citrusy hops in the flavor, some sweetish maltyness too. Quite cidery flavor.

Cask@GBBF2009. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is sourish wood, dry fruits, as well as some mild notes of sweet malts. Flavour is bready malts, dry wood, some herbal and grassy notes as well. A quite pleasant golden ale for once.

Cask at GBBF 05-08-09 Courtesy of Ian, cheers mate. Pours crystal clear goild with a white head, in fact as I remarked to Ian it looks stunning. Soft in the mouth, and maybe a touch thin, malts are a bit weak, bitterness a little insubstantial, its fine but the looks promised much more, bit like a blonde bimbo really. A6 A5 F6 P3 Ov13 3.3
