Cask at London Brewers Showcase. Pours clear honey with a foam head. Bread, fruit and nuts hold the aroma. Flavor is fairly sweet with a nice, bready malt character. Light to medium in body. Well balanced with a clean finish and light hops notes. Good sessioner. --- Beer aliased from original tick of Kew Steam Ale on 10 Dec 2015 at 16:33 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6.5. Original review text: Bottle shared at the chriso and Ruth pre-Christmas / post-Pigs Ear holiday tasting of 2015 - London. Cheers! Pours clear gold with a bubbly white head. The nose holds lemon, pale grains and hay. Light to medium sweet flavour, with more pale grains, ripe lemon, cereal. Light in body with average carbonation. Sugary finish, with notes of crackers, cereal, further grains and ripened lemon. So so.

5th March 2010. Pre ZBF. Slighty hazy gold beer. Dry palate. A bit of sulfur - sigh! Fruity but a too dry palate. Drinkable but nothing special.
