500ml bottle. Eye - clear dark gold. small white head, nice retention but very slow moving carbonation for a 4% beer. Nose - biscuit malts, grain, hint of citrus. A bit dull. Taste - biscuit, a slightly sour citrus note then bitterness kicks in with a stale dry cracker/Ryvita. I guess this is the 'twiggy' people mention. Palate - light bodied and wet but then quite a dry astringent finish. Carbonation had a bit more zing than I thought but could do with a touch more. Overall - drinkable but a poor English golden ale.

[50cl bottle from the Co-Op, Milton, Staffs.] A pale amber pour with a loose white head; grassy aroma; sweet floral taste with a biscuity body; then a touch of iodine before a dry floral finish. Definitely summery.

ThoughtI should tick this 'brewery' off. Bought down the road from my house. Malty aroma with a fruity streak. Golden-brown. Thin creamy translucent off-white head. Starts off light-medium bitter with a good dose of malts. However it has a sour streak and this not pleasant element gradually dominates. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft carbonation. Long astringent finish. Didn't bother finishing it. Not good.

Bottle from Cooperative Supermarket, Salcombe. Copper-coloured ale with a head. Has a deeper tasting sweetened bitterness. It’s a nice red ale in style, but perhaps understated.
