A burnt gold English Pale Ale. Some malt present in the nose with a hint of lime and lemon peel. Medium bodied with some biscuit character and more citrus present in the mouth. The finish shows a clean bitterness with a touch of lingering grassiness.

Cask @ Black Door. Aroma has peaches, some hay and English hops. Flavour is rather hoppy with woody tones, minerals, some peaches and hay. Too dry, needs more fruits. Finishes with some lingering hops and herbs. Also a feeling of bready malt. Decent.

Cask. Hazy gold with a firm head. Aroma is thin biscuit. Flavour is soapy, citrus hop, a little biscuit cake on a dry dusty hop finish. Dry bitter palate. Gets better as you drink it.

(Cask at St. Urho’s Pub, 20131102) The beer poured deep golden and hazy. Its head was medium sized, sparse and white. Aroma had sweet hops, biscuits and malts. Palate was light bodied with low carbonation. Flavours were sweetness, grass, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was bitter. A weak and thin pale ale.

Cask @ The Bath Hotel, Sheffield [161013]
Light blonde, cystal clear, white bubbly head, some lacing
Aroma - Light fruity hops, light pale malts, slight lemon
Taste - light fruits, soft light sweet caramel pale malts, touch of lemon, little in the way of hops, easy going but lacklustre
Palate - Light body, some oiliness. Finish as main flavour.
Overall - An ordinary golden ale, not up to Thornbridge’s usual standards, but plenty of pints of it being sold here, obviously they are brewing this to demand. Very yeah yeah yeah for me

Cask at The Lyric, Soho. It pours clear amber with a small bubbly white head. The nose is earth, floral, earth, hay, tangy lime and biscuit. The taste is biscuit, floral, grass, light lingering bitterness, grain, wood and faint lime with a dry finish. Medium body and soft carbonation. Easy drinking, but not a whole lot going on. Ok.

On cask @ Coach and Horses, Dronfield - Hazy golden body with a thin white head.Grassy hop nose with some malt sweetness. On the taste, dry on the palate with plenty of malt and cereal. Fruity, hoppy finish. Body is slightly thin. Not one of Thornbridge’s best.

Cask at the Euston Tap. Mostly clear, vibrant gold with a dense, pure white, creamy head. Honey, bready malts, orange citrus hops in the nose. Lightly sweet with cereal, mild veggies, earthy and floral bitterness. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Hops linger in the throat to finish, with mild warmth and caramel malts. Quite nice.
