The beer has a prominent hop character; a blend of Fuggles, Goldings and Cascade has been used in the recipe to bring the delicate hop flavour and aroma to the fore. The use of Cascade gives a pleasing citrus aroma. Finest pale Maris Otter malt has been blended with wheat malt and rye crystal to provide a full flavoured beer. The lavish use of late hop dominates the malt flavour and results in a satisfying pint.

Bottle from Beers of Europe, online. Pours a dark clear gold, small white head, modest retention. Aroma of pale malts, an odd rhubarb and custard note, floral with light spice. Interesting. Taste also has a fruity rhubarb note with a biscuit malt base, a bit over filtered and tinny in the middle but some nice floral and spice notes in the finish with a moderate bitterness. Light bodied but fairly smooth with a high lager like carbonation. Mixed but on balance I quite like it.

Bottle from Cambridge Wine Merchants Kings Parade. Dark gold and almost clear. Very little head. Malt, lemon and a bit of tropical fruit. Bitter taste with quite a bit of sweet malt. Bitter aftertaste. Very unexciting if refreshing. The cask version is far superior.

Cloudy orange - gold beer. Crisp palate. Well balanced. Even malt, creamy. Leads straight in to orangey hops. Dry finish with a mildly bitter aftertaste. Standard stuff but well constructed.

Brown 500ml bottle, best before 29 April 2011, drank mid July 2010, so fairly fresh. Poured twice into a half pint sleeve. The beer is a lovely golden colour (hence the name!), the snow white head sadly had no staying power although it did leave some heavy lacing on the glass. The nose was hoppy as was the taste, sharp and refreshing. The label lists a host of hops used in the brew, buy a bottle to find out which! Easy drinking and well worth trying.
