Clear gold with a bubbly white head and, if anything can smell fizzy, then this is it! There's sweet fruit and floral bitterness on the nose too, and it drinks very fresh with grassy hop bitterness balanced out by sweet and fruity light malt

Cask at Hogshead, Wolverhampton. Pours a golden amber with a small white head and good lacing. Malts and orn to the fore in the aroma. Barley sugar and caramel are the initial impressions in the mouth. Malts and a slight sharpness come afterwards, and there are also traces of summere fruits. Finish is slightly dry. This is OK – a good swiggable bitter.

Bottle from Morrisons. Pours a straw colour with a thin white head. Faint aromas of hay, biscuits and floral.

Nothing outstanding but a simple elegant tasting ale.
