A 500 ml bottle purchased from a convenience store in central London, being opened now offshore Scotland on a cruise ship. It views a medium gold topped by a steady skim of nearly white foam. It smells of grain and a touch floral. The taste follows along with that, barley, bread, a bit flowery and some fruity sweetness. Not great and not bad for a sedate style.

Golden ale by this familiar brewery in Hampshire, England, established in 1978 under influence of CAMRA and the revival of real ale traditions and now owned by Marston’s and thus Carlsberg; 50 cl bottle shared with Craftmember, Hinke and Goedele. Egg-white, thick and frothy, cobweb-lacing, slowly breaking but generally well-retaining head, clear warm ‘old-golden’ robe. Aroma of dried out white bread, old flour, dry straw, apple peel, grass, soggy chicken food, cooked turnip, field flowers in a herbarium. Crisp onset, quite lively carbonated with refreshing minerally effects, dryish and low in esters; white-bready maltiness with sharper grainy edges, feeling quite ‘genuine’ especially when a long-stretching, flowery, grassy and peppery hop bitterness sets in, accentuating the generally dry, crisp character of this beer. Simple and straightforward quencher, seemingly a tad more hop bitter than is typical for present-day English style golden ale, clean, crisp and easily drinkable. I could drink this every day.

Rocky off white head stayed on a clear reddish brown body. Sweet malted aroma. Medium bodied, smooth & creamy with a cloying back. Sweet, malt, caramel & berry tastes with a tangy bitter finish. Really good Bitter.

Bottle from Asda. Clear, rich chestnut colour with a lasting off-white head and a middling fizz. Malt and caramel are dominant here with just a vague whiff of generic fruitiness. It's a bog standard basic supermarket bitter, but it's pleasantly drinkable. Frankly I'm bored stiff of hoppy pales; it's rather enjoyable to have a malty bitter these days by way of a change.

Have drunk this in the past but not rated in before. Cask at Moon under Water, Wolverhampton. Pours a bright copper with a small white head. Malts and caramel in the nose. Sweet and juicy in the mouth with autumn fruit and hints of citrus on a caramel base. Later on some hoppiness comes through and there is a sweet finish. Surprisingly this is a pretty decent beer.
