Pharaoh’s Gold in colour with an aroma rich with kiwi fruit. A powerful taste of lime zest and citrus flavours yield to a hop resin background, before you pay homage to a long, bitter finish that’s drier than a camel’s toe!

Cask at the Rail Ale Festival Chesterfield, 2016. Poured a crystal clear straw colour with a frothy white head. The aroma is yeasty, light hop. The flavour is light bitter with a light watery hop, light citrus palate. Light bodied with soft carbonation.

Cask at Rail Ale ’16, 20/05/16. Clear golden blonde with a decent off white head. Nose is bitter orange, straw, bread, spice, pale malts. Taste comprises soft bread, orange peel, light spice, straw, lemon rind. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close peppered with earthy hop bitterness. Decent ... rather hoppy for an ESB !

Handpull cask from the Regal (JDW), Cambridge. Mid-gold with a loose and clingy white head. Grapefruit and pithy lemon aroma with a hint of washing up liquid. Bitter taste with a soapy astringency in the finish. A trifle messier than Oakham’s average golden, and part of me wonders why 87% of Oakham beers are of a similar style. But taken on its own merit this is worth drinking.

Cask at Chapel Beer Festival. Very slight haze on this pale gold beer. Light crisp palate. Smooth and juicy hops. Sweetish pineapple, grapefruit and other yellow fruits. More sweet than bitter until the aftertaste when it turns pretty bitter. Fresh and tasty!

Cask at St Albans BF 2010. Been waiting ages to try this. Pale gold. Twards the end of the barrel. Quite ascetic hop aroma but just right side of sharp. Yes not a lot of condition, makes a difference. Bu the hops are indestructable. Hoppy, sharp and palate dancing. Hoppy as hell. Lovely sharp and bitter beer.

Cask at the ’Grape and Grain’ beer festival, Crystal Palace. Gold pour with a white head. Citrus, pineapple and hop aromas. Nice citrus burst in the taste with a bit of caramel and herbs. Sharp hop finish. Refreshing.

Cask at The Rake, London. Pours a hazy yellow-gold with a strong, white head. Hoppy aroma with grass and zesty citrus. Lightly sweet with tons of bitterness in the form of grapefruit and pine, mostly. Light to medium in body with average carbonation. Finishes very dry and hoppy with subtle malts. Great.

Cask at the Kingston Arms, Cambridge. AMber with a dense white head; aroma of orange and peach; sweet and fruity flavour with more peach and orange, then a clean grapefruit bitterness to finish with a touch of lemon. Excellent.
