Crystal clear, good white head. Smell is a little hoppy. Flavour is hoppy, a little fruit, a malty base. A bit thin, a little watery in the aftertaste. It's okay, inoffensive and like every basic golden ale you've ever had.

Cask at The Grill. It pours clear classic golden - blonde with a frothy white cap. The aroma is has a smokiness.... Actually that is some fucker outside the pub....toasty grain, cereal, zingy citrus, lemon - lime, soapy florals and biscuit. The taste is crisp, dry, snappy, firm bitterness, grain is cereal and biscuit, pithy, zesty, waxy citrus peel, floral, spice and dry grass with a drying, kinda grainy finish. Has its moments. Plenty of standard golden ale elements with some zingy citrus. Ok.

Bottle from Aldi Ellon. It pours clear golden - amber with a decent frothy white head. The aroma is sweet biscuity malt, digestives, nutty, dried citrus peel and a touch of stone fruit. The taste is firm and dry, bitter - sweet, biscuit, woody, sappy, pithy citrus, rindy, peppery spice, slightly soapy, earth and tannin with a drying finish. Average carbonation and fine, prickly carbonation. A fairly run of the mill golden ale. Drinks fine though.
