Golden ale with a small head. Slightly malty but hardly noticeable, it simply has an easy drinking character.

25th Feb 2012: Hand pulled pint in The Raven, a sports pub in Wellington: Shropshire. Light golden/amber body with a full but thin white crown of bubbles. Mixed bag in the aroma: malty molasses blend in with a floral/citrus hop smell, the malts being slightly stronger. The taste is also a blend of the aforementioned flavours: a malty sweetness mixed in with a hop semi-bitterness with an almost sour/dry finish. Body depth was good; this is a nicely put together brew

Hand pulled cask at JDWs Angel. Cloudy amber, naked surface. Malt-fruity smell, mid-sweet. Quite well blended taste of grassy hops and chocolate malts. Fruit bitterness to the finish. Pleasant (London, 20.03.2011).

Gravity cask at the Bree Louise. Clear, rich gold pour with a light, bubbly head. Nose holds a bit of bread and some faint citrus. Flavor has some orange juice sweetness, touches of plastic and faint straw bitters. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes with slightly rindy hops, a bit of plastic and some white sugar. Not altogether bad, but certainly not a good beer.
