Cask at the Twickenham Beer Festival 2012. Straw in colour with a loose white head; aroma of citrus and corn syrup; sweet grapefruit dominates the taste; and the finish is dry and grapefruity. A rather basic blonde ale.

GBBF. Hazy gold beer, little white head. Fresh dry palate. Mild citrus. A little light skunk. Semi dry finish. Typical Golden - but all right.

[Cask from brewer’s own stand at the Thame Food Festival] Crystal clear amber-red with a slight white head. Lovely rich, full mouthfeel. Despite the cascade hops, this seems to have full-on traditional English bitter flavours - fruity flavours of berries, orange and marmalade, with a lasting earthy, bitter finish and a slight dryness. Tastes stronger than it is. Very decent beer from what seems to be becoming a very reliable brewery.
