Cask @ University Arms, Sheffield [010916]
Black, ruby edges, thin beige head, some lacing
Aroma - very little on nose, maybe slight orange, slight citrus
Taste of dark malts, spicy note, touch of chocolate and orange, hardly noticeable at first, get a bit more with the drinking
Palate - Body is rather thin, light sweet. Finish has a touch of dusty cocoa powder, slight orange
Overall - OK, but needs more body, chocolate and orange flavour a bit weak here

Bottle from Glen Park Hotel, Ayr. Appearance - golden with a decent head. Nose - earthy and savoury. Kitchen smells? Then red fruits. Taste - caramel biscuits. Red fruits again. Palate - light tomedium bodied with a creamy yet crunchy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - yeah good ale. Not a golden ale. It’s a bitter.

Bottle from Glen Park Hotel, Ayr. Appearance - golden amber with a thin head that disappears quickly. Nose - orange and red fruit. Bit of hobnob biscuit. Big crystal malt influence. Taste - more orange fruit and biscuits. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy yet tangy texture and a finish that could be fresher. Overall - would prefer more bittering hops though it does have some interesting notes. It should be under Bitter style rather than Golden Ale in my opinion.
