Gravity cask at The Old Fountain Beer Festival, October 2012. Pours clear gold with a fine, white foam head. Ripe, dry citrus nose, some hay. Light sweet flavor with good and dry citrus, orange, melon, straw. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Moderately sweet finish with light resinous hops, understated citrus, dry dough. Quite nice all around.

Cask at the Euston Tap, London. Pours clear yellow with a tight, white cream head. Dry hay nose, light grass and crackery pale malts. Light sweet flavor with lots of crackers ad biscuits, dry hay. Straw, light grass. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Great condition. Crisp, clean finish, plenty more dry, crackery malts, bitter hay, light dirt, some fresh grass, biscuits. Just a really, really well rounded golden ale. Actually picks up speed as you work your way through it.

Cask-conditioned at the Black & Gold beer festival, the Gryphon, Bristol 2/9/2012. Deep brown with a slight, off-white head. Aroma of fruit cake, citrus and a whiff of pine. Flavour of raisins, orange peel and marzipan, leading to a hoppy, dry finish. Very enjoyable.

36th CAMRA Cotswold beer festival (July 2012) in the lovely 15th century Tithe Barn: the setting for my tasting of this beer. Gravity poured half-pint: almost black in colour with an off-white head which started and finished rather thin. The smell was roasted/toasted malts with hints of a hop content if you sniffed hard enough. The taste was a blend of hoppiness and maltiness, each vying for domination: the hops just about winning, although your eyes try to tell you it is maltier because of its colouring.
