Clear golden with a creamy head. Very floral, very citrusy: lemon zest, bitter orange, marmalade, resin, slightly metallic. Bold zesty bitterness. Light bodied, oily watery texture, low carbonated, rather dry zesty citrusy bitter finish. A lovely Ale.

Cask at The Harp. It pours darkest ruby with a small, bubbly khaki head. The aroma is soft, sticky, treacle, floral, kinda spicy and a touch soapy. The taste is dry, toasty malts, fairly oily, slick, bitter - sweet character, floral, hibiscus, treacle and a touch of umami. Average body and limited carbonation (could be done with a bit more). Not bad, just not the most ideal beverage to drink on a hot summers eve.

Clear golden topped with a lasting white head.

440ml can from a B&M or Home Bargains (can't remember, it was bought a while ago). Poured into a Batemans (Good Honest Ales) UK pint sleeve at home with some cheese, lunchtime on 19th November 2025. Bright, pale golden body, white crust on top. Hoppy nose, slight farmyard ester or two, taste is bitter, just checked it's arse to make sure it's in date, it is (BBE Jan 2026). Just seems a bit 'harsh' and full on for a 3.4% ABV Session IPA that's in date! This is decent for a cheap supermarket can.

Cards on the table. Prize Old Ale has always been one of my top beers. In fact, when Marble got hold of some and matured it in barrels many years ago it became one of my top beers ever. It was stunning. I received this as a gift in Spring and I've decided (no idea why) that tonight is the night. Great pour and a head that will be there for ages. A huge aroma of malt, hops and a gentle and welcome sourness. The taste is malt and sour. It's not well balanced with an emphasis on the sour. Still bloody good but not in the league of the Marble take on it. Maybe I built myself up too much. Anyway, this is a big boy's beer with bitterness, richness and sour. Interested to hear other views.

Can at home. Nice light summer beer. It won't set the world on fire, but perfectly pleasant.
