This light golden beer is a stronger version of this brewery’s multiaward-winning Hophead. Its intense hop aromas of citrus fruits lead to refreshing flavours of zesty marmalade and a lasting, hoppy finish.

Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading. Gold with a white head. Lemon and orange flavours, but also sadly a touch of plastic. Quite crisp and clean though. Ok overall.

Cask at Shrewsbury Hotel, Shrewsbury. Pours golden amber with a small foamy off-white head and excellent lacing. The aroma is a mix of hops with some added citrus. In the mouth it starts off sweet but bitterness gradually creeps in until it becomes dominant. Flavour has citrus, tangerine and marmalade with some hints of tropical fruits and peel coming later. Finish is bitter and fruity. This is decent.

[Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading.] A bright amber pour with a tight cream coloured head; bready aroma; quite floral to start with and a bready body, then developing some citrus; leading to a pithy citrus finish. A satisfying golden ale.

Beer Number 9 at the Wetherspoon Spring Beer Festival 2025, leaving 19 of 30 still untried. Good body but strength obvious too, despite looking like an easy session brew. The impact is its not quite as zesty as expected from its notes, but its texture is good and the palate agrees. Its aftertaste is where it gets a little more flavour.

Cask handpull at County Hotel JDW Ashford. Clear gold colour lasting thin white head. Some citrus aroma
More citrus flavour in the mouth. Yes it's a light malt golden ale. I like the hop flavour on the finish .not quite as good condition as the Hook Norton beer I had before. Some bitterness on the finish. Good temperature. It's fine. OK.
