Fine looking, golden ale with little aroma, but its fine texture ensures a great taste.

Cask at the Prince Arthur (JDW), Fleet. Hazy pale amber with thin white head that leaves lots of lacing on the glass; tropical fruit aroma - perhaps peach; a smooth floury body with an intensely sweet, tropical fruit flavour; then a pleasanlty assertive bitterness to counteract the sweetness. Nice.

Cask-conditioned at the Gryphon, Bristol 2/03/2012. Deep amber with a slight, off-white head. Sweet, malty aroma with some caramel fruit and leafy hops. Flavour was also sweet, with a hint of butter, slight roasty edge and bitter finish. Didn’t work for me.
