Pale Ale. Like marmalade made from Seville oranges and grapefruit, the aroma mimics the sweet start but gives into the hops which combine with a touch of rye malt for a dry finish.

Cask ar Old Dolphin, Derby. Pours a slightly hazy golden amber with a small off-white head. The aroma is mainly malts with a hint of oranges. In the mouth it is sweet but with some underlying bitterness. Flavour has malts, barley sugar, werthers original sweets, oranges and mango. Still some sweetness in the finish. This is reasonable – if a little bland.

Cask at the Kings Head Leicester. Middle of the road gold and flat with the tiniest ring of white head. Floral and malty scent with traces of butterscotch, hay and demerara sugar. Tastes bittersweet, there's some discernable hop but it's a bit sulphurous for my liking. Finishes more bitter. Not the best golden in the world.
