5/6/2021. Bottle from Beer Guerrilla, Northampton. Pours very slightly hazy straw gold with a small frothy white head. Aroma is hoppy, citrus, grapefruit, flowers, straw, light biscuit, caramel malt. Moderate sweetness with medium bitterness. Moderate body, average carbonation. Very nicely done.

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 10/1/2018. Golden in colour, with a slight, white, head. A touch of floral hops, citrus fruit, biscuity malts and a moderately dry finish. Good.

Cask handpump at The Bell, Banbury, Oxon, 22-03-10 Banbury Beer Festival Meeting. Pours mid gold, the clarity is excellent and despite being on for 3-4 days its held up very well. The aroma is a little subdued and I would have imagined that the NZ hops would have offered more but as mentioned this is understandable for a beer slightly past its prime. The flavour is sublime ok so its maybe not as crisp as it was a day or two ago but the tropical fruits and also grapefruit noted were still there and then there is a lovely bittersweet flurry, still excellent but had I have had it when Glen did then I’m sure we would have been talking another 4+ score.

A British Golden ale that delivers more than average. Crystal clear golden appearance. Shinning surface. Appealing tropical fruit to the nose. Herbal, dusty hops in flavour and a touch of honey sweetness. Rounded bitter ending. Everything in fine harmony. Medium to thin bodied. Has got great session potentials (Cask, GBBF 05.08.2009).
