Bottle from BEER:shop, Hitchin. Pours clear golden with a quickly diminishing white head. Aroma of fruit, sweet caramel, hop, malt, biscuit and syrup. Medium towards heavy sweetness, light bitterness. Medium body, oily texture, average carbonation despite looking flat. Sweet, malty finish. OK.

A slightly hazy pale yellow gold colour with a small thin white head. Floral and fruity (tropical and citrus) and sweet biscuity malt aroma. Some lacing, a light sweet malty taste with lemon citrus and flowery notes and a very pleasant hop bitterness in the finish. A great ale for a warm day. The more I drink the more I like it.

*Old rating, cask in the UK. Nice round and smooth beginning. Typical Golden Ale-characteristics, fruity and smooth. Full-bodied with a moderate bitterness in the aftertaste. Fresh floral, very refreshing!

Cask at the Hop Pole, Aylesbury, 28/02/15. Clear golden with a decent off white covering that retains well, good lacing ensues. Nose carries floral elements, bread dough, light citric peel, spice, lemon rind. Taste comprises orange, perfume, light melon, bread dough, pale malt. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close. Decent enough GB.
