With a fruity aroma of blackberry and spiced fruit, this golden ale is very easy drinking, with a crisp bite.

500ml bottle; BBE Jan 2020. Drank in the afternoon sun on my patio on 27th June 2019. Clear golden/amber body, white crown. Aroma and taste were both caramel forward in nature and the whole brew is sweet with very little bitterness. My sweet tooth liked it though.

Bottle thanks to sisinlaw Sarah, cheers! Much the same really, malts smoother and not grainy. Mild marmalade hops, soft pine. Airy finish. It's quite drinkable but not really brewed for the likes of me.

Bottle shared in London - thanks to Cloin. Pours clear yellow-gold with a slim, foamy white head. The nose holds pale bread, hay, vague citrus, faint butter. Light sweet flavour with some bitter hay, husky grains, citrus peel, grass. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes with more husky grains, faint butter, more straw. So so.

Bottle at L42. It pours clear golden with a small white head. The aroma is soft, grainy, oily, cereal, straw and honey. The taste is crisp, dry, lemony, toasty grain, straw, floral and soap with a drying finish. Light body and moderate carbonation. Very basic golden ale with limited/no hop character

Fra cask på Union Inn, Plympton 25 Sep 16. Stråfarget. Filmskum. Litt lacing. Beskjeden fruktaroma. Myk munnfølelse. Smaken balansert. Litt karamell. Svakt syrlig etter hvert. Behagelig øl.

Bottle, as Salcombe Shingle Bay. A gift from the man who is Totnes. Clear gold. Film and ring of lasting, white head. Nose has buttery, creamy grain. Green leaf. Bit of privet leaf. Taste is less sweet than I might imagine, with a privet leaf bitterness. Smooth mouthfeel. Light bitter finish. Decent golde.
