A higher bitterness golden ale with a thick head. It has a fruitiness but they seem to be trapped within its thin body screaming to get out.

Cask@Pigs Ear Beer Festival 2011. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is bready malts, some sweet malts, mild floral and fruity hops. Flavour is similar. Quite a standard UK golden ale, good enough to keep drinking, but no real need to get another one.
