Brown 500ml bottle, best before 2nd June 2009 drank on my Pale Ale tasting day, late April 2009. Poured into a UK pint sleeve glass. A slightly hazy, fairly dull golden yellow liquid filled the glass, a white, firm foaming head sat on top, a few bubbles could be seen rising through the beer to settle on the underside of the head. The head thinned out a bit quick but it looked fine at the start of the tasting. Good hoppy aroma (Cascade and Willamette), with a hint of a floral, apple blossom smell coming through as the beer warmed in the glass. The taste was crisp, sharp and a bitter hoppy dryness, the bitterness coming from the third hops used (Hallertau). The body was a bit thin, and the 5% alcohol content is hard to find. Having said that, it does go down very well and this brewery is fast becoming one I look for when visiting new beer stores and bars.

Bottle. Thanks to Saxo. Pours clear dark golden with a small creamy head and lacings. Citrus and leather in the nose. Flavor is peach and citrus with a hint of buicuit. Dry and floral. Smooth. Good!

Creamy white good mostly lasting head. Dark yellow colour. Moderate malty and hoppy aroma. Moderate bitter flavor. Long moderate bitter finish. Creamy palate.

Cask @ York Tap 060112
Amber...clear..thin white head...good lacing
Aroma of citrus hops..grapefruit...sweet pale malts..bit of orange zest
Taste of citrus and grass hops....sweet light malts...again some zest
Palatee...soft carb...thin body..bitter hops in the middle. Finish - rather dry...bit mouth puckering...rather lingering...after a while the finish gets sweeter.
Overall - Good golden ale in good condition - nice flavours.

cask @ The Kingfisher, Colyton. Copper-golden colour, creamy head. Lovely hoppy aroma. Rather full-bodied, intesnively malty with lots of good citrusy hops. Well-balanced, smooth carbonation. Very nice.

Cask at the White Horse, Exchange Square. Rich gold pour with a foamy, voluminous white head. Pleasant hop nose, bits of pine and grapefruit. Nice flavor, lots of sticky, resinous bitterness, sweetness of honey and sugar. Light to medium bodied with average carbonation. Sticky hop finish, great balance, light bread. A really solid beer.

[Cask at the Good Food Show 2009, NEC, Birmingham] Gold, slight white head, moderate carbonation. A lovely refreshing herb-and-flower flavour with hints of citrus and a well-balanced gentle dry bitterness in the finish. Nice!

Cask@Black Door. Clear golden color, small white head. Honeyish-piney nose. A bit lame pale malt profile. Crisp hoppyness which goes down in the aftertaste. Grass, pine, clover.
