Half, cask conditioned at Duck & Drake in Leeds. Shining, naked surface to a deep, mahogany coloured body. Sweet malty to the nose, slightly roasted. Dark chocolate malts in flavour nicely balanced by resin-like hops. Good mild, not watered at all. (Sunday pub crawl in Leeds, 11.07.2010).

Cask, gravity at Merton Beer Festival, 16-07-10 Pours golden with white head. Aroma is sweet and lacking in the hoppy punch I was expecting. Taste is also a little sweet, its fine there is some bitterness, not much hoppiness, its easy drinking but more in a forgettable not noticing it kind of way, rather than easy drinking I want some more of this. I generally like a lot of smaller golden ales from decent Northern Micro breweries but sadly this just didn’t cut it, there is nothing terribly wrong with it but it is just desperately ordinary. Gazza you were right! A6 A3 T6 P3 Ov12 3.0
