1/3 pint on a sample tray, cask at the Old Cannon brewpub. Filmy layer, poor lacing, clear amber body. Bready malts on the nose. Malt-fruity flavours, caramel and ripe fruity hints. Okay bitter ending. Decent. (Bury St Edmunds 12.11.2021).

Gylden. Filmskum. Forsiktig maltaroma. Myk munnfølelse. Smaken fjærlett fruktig med en søt bitter avslutning.

Cask at The Foresters, Church Crookham. Slightly sour edged malt aroma. Mesium brown. Creamy but blotchy off-white. Bitter with a sour edge. Some underlying sweet caramel. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Average. Abrupt finish. OK but nothing to write home about.

Cask at the Old Cannon Brewery, Bury St Edmunds. Pours amber with a small off-white head. Aroma of hop, malt, fruit, caramel and grass. Medium to heavy sweetness, light bitterness. Moderate body, oily texture, soft to flat carbonation. A simple and easy drinking session bitter, but a bit too sweet.
