Cask at the Craft. Very light haze on this gold beer, tidy white head. Smooth palate with mild fine carbonation. Nice hops - fresh but mild orange and tangerine. Trace of grass underneath. Semi dry finish. Decent Pale Ale - very drinkable.

On tap at the Old Fountain. Thanks guys, for the cellar run on this one! Light haze on this amber beer. Little white head. Palate is smooth and light with mild carbonation. Mild mild malt base. Tangy dried fruit hops, fresh but pretty mild with a touch of zesty orange. Finishes smooth and dry. Not bad at all.

500ml Bottle - Golden with a white head. Grapefruit, gooseberries, pineapple and mango all feature in the inviting aroma. Hoppy and fairly bitter taste with tangy grapefruit and tropical pineapple, mango and passion fruit all detected. Really nice.

16th June 2012, CAMRA Investors Club AGM: Victoria, Beeston. Hand pulled pint: Amber body with an off-white head of foaming bubbles. This is a malty, yet hoppy brew: a good blend of flavours which bring out the best in each other without setting the world alight. Easy drinking with a maltier nose than taste, the hops coming more into their own giving the beer a mini bitter finish.

Gbbf 2012. Clear pure gold colour lasting white head. Diacetyl on aroma. Some then sweaty hops on the flavour. Decent condition and hops are good but diacetyl takes away from it. 2.8/5 re rate Cask gravity at Firkin Alehouse Folkestone. Clear gold lasting white head. some white stone fruit. Peach and nectarine. Good condition. Cracking.
