Just a very mild haze on this orange gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, a good fine minerally crispness. Light bodied but somewhat ripe pale malts. Similarly the Amarillo and Centennial brings a bruised orange flavour along with smooth cooling pine. A light and mildly dry finish. Hmmm. This is like a step back in time to old school Bishop Nick. Every beer I have had from them over the last few years has been crisp, clean and bright. This one is quite ripe.

Half of cask at the Hitchin Beer Festival. I was in the mood for something old school so ordered this. And wasn't disappointed. Rich malts with bitter hops, but an emphasis on the malt. Going on sweet, which is why I scored it lower.

A clear amber beer, good bubbly pale tan head. Airy palate, reasonable fine carbonation. Nice malt base, biscuit and light malt cream and a pleasing darkish toffee streak that is not sweet. Hops bring soft pine and soft dark berries into slightly ripe orchard fruits. Comes together very well into a light finish. Bishop Nick do these bitters and pale ales so very well. If they ever turn their considerable talents to modern craft beer styles, look out!
