(Cask at White Horse, Parson’s Green, London, 26 Apr 2013) Amber colour with foamy, off-white head. Fruity, malty nose with notes of apricots, orange peel, marmalade and slightly earthy hops. Malty, fruity taste with orange marmalade, apricots, citrus peel, resin and a generous citric bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Nice one. (At least I think this was the right version. Let me know if someone knows better.)

Bottle from Oddbins London Bridge. Clear gold with very thin white head. Slightly buttery slightly estery aroma. More or less a standard golden ale in the mouth with a little bit of butter. It’s clean, but just a bit bland to be honest. Not great condition. Bit too clean.

Bottle at home in London with Lyoli - picked up this bottle at Oddbins London Bridge. Pours perfectly clear, rich honey-gold with a slight, creamy white head. Aroma holds buttery biscuits and slight caramel, some doughy bread. Medium sweet flavor, lightly syrupy, some caramel, buttered biscuits, some hay, hints of toasted straw. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Sweet malty finish, lightly toasted bread, still some dough, a bit more caramel. In it’s sugary simplicity it is enjoyable, but it’s not a great beer.

Bottle 0.33l at home via alesbymail. Colour is hazy orange with small white head. Aromas and flavours. Wheat, spices, fruits and some hints of yeast. Quite nice.
