A cool golden summer ale. Very refreshing with a balanced complexity. It was first produced in 2005 to celebrate our major summer award at Kensington Olympia for Best Bitter. It became an instant hit and is especially appreciated when served at 11 degrees Celsius.
Available from between April - September on draught and throughout the year in bottle.

Pint at the Pelt Trader. This came on while we were there and I insisted we give it a try. A good pour from the gravity and a burnt yellow in the glass. No real nose, but the taste was just too astringent. I think it was because the bitterness clashed with the previous beers and the taste improved as we got further through the glass, but we agreed that it was the worst of the evening.

Cask at the Pelt Trader, Cannon Street. A bright amber pour with a ring of white head; spicy aroma; dry grainy body with a spicy taste, perhaps nutmeg, and cinnamon; then a soft grainy finish with lingering bitterness. Nicely balanced, and not too spicy.

Bottle at home from the brewery. Drunk after shifting 5 tons of logs into my garage ready for fire season. A beautiful colour in the tankard and a diamond sharp clarity to the beer. The flavour was all about the malts and this was like drinking a McVities digestive biscuit with a hint of farmyard and some bitter hops. Lovely, lovely lovely! There was so much flavour wrapped up in a gorgeous mouth feel and the pint disappeared in record time. I have two more bottles of this and I cannot wait!

Cask at Lord Nelson, Brighton. It pours clear golden-amber with a tiny white head. The nose is earthy, wood, toasty grain, bread, light spice and cereal. The taste is bitter, earthy, wood, biscuit, honeyed cereal, crunchy nut cornflakes and spice with a dry, earthy finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Nice earthy/bretty thing going. Nice low-boost golde.

Cask at the Lord Nelson, Brighton on 23rd August 2014. Gold with thin white head and lacing. Grassy, herby hop aroma. Lush grass in-mouth with delicate citric tang. Floral and grassy finish. Zingy mouthfeel and plenty of body. A good pint.
