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

Bottle. Appearance - golden with a proportionate head. Nose - lemon and pale malt. Taste - more of the same. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - it doesn’t do a lot but it is refreshing and balanced.

Clear golden ale with no head. Has a light and crisp character and a thin texture. Has a fruitiness in both its aroma and taste but its not well stated. Slightly watery.

Bottle, picked up from the Vale Brewery, 25-10-08, consumed 26-10-08 Pours golden with white head. Fairly predictable that this was going to be fruity, bit citrusy, tangy, hoppy and bitter, no problem with that at all, its just that it was like so many others of this ilk, distinctly average and afraid to be different.

Bottle from Utobeer. Essence of a summer’s day on the label, drunk on the first day of winter. Hazy gold, thin lasting white head. Bit of butter/toffee on aroma. After that it’s a pretty good, nice sharp hop bitter. Some earthiness, quite a poorish BCA beer though, yeah, definite diacetyl. Then earthy pale ale and then decent hop.
