Bottle at home in London. I rated this beer a few weeks ago but then my review was deleted somehow - not by me, mind you. I remember enjoying the beer though not being blown away. It would be nice if I had notes on the beer, but I entered them directly on to RB and when the rate was removed, so too were my notes. If I find the beer again I will re-rate to include some details.

Bottle at home in London. Pours clear gold with a small, creamy white head. Aroma is all biscuity malts and floral straw. Light to medium sweet with more buscuity malts, lightly tangy lemon, some lightly toasted dough, mild hay and sun-burnt grass. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Finishes with decent bitterness, a bit of grassy twang on the tongue, some bready and biscuity malt sweetness, a bit of citrus zest. Yeah, this is a really solid golden. Very well balanced, very clean, with a refreshing hop zip to finish. Has a nicely nuanced character. Excellent beer.

Bottle at my Pre-CBC Tune-Up Tasting, thanks to jackl. It pours very dark brown, with a thin, light tan head. The nose is roasted malt, caramel, meat and charcoal. The taste is caramel, roasted malt, slight tangy, bitter chocolate, wood and tree bark, with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. A decent, easy drinking porter.

Cask conditioned at Reading BF 2012. Orange gold slight haze lasting off white head. Earthy beer. Good condition. Hoppy enough to be interesting and make you want to drink again. Does what a session beer should. Earthy yes but great nick and hoppy dryness on finish to make it good.

(Cask at Southampton Arms, Kentish Town, London, 19 April 2012) Amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity nose with orange, apricots and grainy malt. Malty, fruity taste with notes of grainy malt, orange, dried apricots and fresh hops in a finish with a decent bitterness. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Nice one.

Bottle at home in London. Pours clear, straight gold with a creamy, white head. Some doughy toast in the nose with zesty, dry orange. Nice, lightly sweet flavor with a mild toasty doughiness, some dirt, pine, dry grapefruit and orange. Light bodied with average to lively carbonation. Lightly dry finish with grassy bitterness, very faint plastic, pine, dirty hay, some dry citrus. Decent bitter, though the character is pretty light. Pretty drinkable.

Bottle at home in London. Pours clear brown with a creamy, off-white head. Has a fairly inviting aroma, some light toasty dough, berries, mild sweat. Lightly sweet flavor with some lightly tangy berries, dry bread, mild leaves. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Mild sweet finish with some leafy bitterness, light toast, hints of plastic, modest berries. There are some nice, toasty nuances to the malts, but the overall character of the beer is slightly bland. Not bad overall, though.
