The colour of burnished copper, with a markedly bitter finish from the generous use of Goldings and Progress hops. Flavoursome English pale malt is blended with speciality Belgian malt to add balance and a smooth finish, which lasts and lasts. Full-bodied, yet with an ease of drinking which belies its strength.

Cask at the Merchants Inn, Rugby, 03/04/13. Very lightly hazed golden with a decent sized off white head. Nose carries notes of grain, pale malt, orange, sugars, caramel. Taste comprises caramel malt, bread dough, light citrus notes, orange twang. Medium bodied with a little oomph, soft carbonation, dry finish with a trace of booze. A respectable enough ESB.

Cask at the Cask Pub & Kitchen, London on 9th January 2010. Orange gold with thin disappearing yellow white head. Rounded. Hoppy citric notes and a touch of orange zest. Toffee malt aroma. Increasingly dry bitter finish. Smooth mouthfeel. Satisfying beer.
