Cask at CBC, Clerkenwell on 17th April 2016. Gold with off-white foam. Lush grass and grapefruit hop aroma. Rich and intense hoppiness in-mouth with grass and grapefruit salient. Same flavour through the finish on this zingy, medium-bodied pale ale.

Cask @ King Charles I, London Kings Cross. Clear golden with a bubbly head. Not as strong tasting as you might expect it to be, but has a fuller-bodied texture with mild tropical fruit flavours.

Cask at the craft beer co Clerkenwell. A mostly clear dark orange amber coloured pour with a lasting loose beige head. Aroma is layered nutty / toasted malts, earthy twiggy notes with some brown sugars, and some woodland berries. Flavour is composed of semi sweet toasted nutty malts, bitter earthy dirty finish, bark and hints of earthy coffee. Palate is semi sweet, moderate cask condition. OK.

Cask at Reading Beer Festival. Dark brown. Pleasing light hoppy smell. Bland and watery on tasting, just a little toast and mild fruit. They’ve managed to do what they said; it’s a dark beer that tastes like a golden ale. Unfortunately it’s one of those rather drab and dull golden ales that so dominate the market these days. Shame.
