Beautiful light golden premium bitter traditionally brewed using only the finest quality of Stonehenge Spring Water, barley and light crystal malts, whole hops and the brewery’s own top-fermenting yeast. This dry and smooth beer has a hint of toffee, which compliment the citrusy and spicy flavours trailed by a lingering bitterness. A touch of magic and a hint of mystery are left on the palate.

(Cask at Kitty’s, Helsinki) Poured golden and clear. Head was medium sized, long lasting and white. Aroma contained hops. perfume and yeast. Palate was medium bodied with low carbonation. Flavours were herbs, fruitiness, sweetness, bisquit and bitterness. Aftertaste was bitter. Somehow this beer had some similarities to Belgian ales.

Cask (Helsinki Beer Festival 2009) - Golden in colour. Malty and ever so slightly hoppy aroma. Fruity and hoppy taste with hints of citrus. It tastes slightly flat, but is refreshing, although I don’t think the serving temperature is ideal.

Cask Conditioned at Coal Hole, London
Hazy golden color; compact head, nice lace. Amazing Golden Ale, with the classic malt (here quite strong), hop (milder) and a light fruity aroma, it has a mix of cookies, lemon (or is it lemon cookies?) and light pine needles. In the final the malt is crispy too, and there is caramel and bold bitterness. Excellent.
