Cask at the Cask, Pimlico - 20/11/12. Clear pale golden with a thin white head that retains well. Good lacing follows. Big hoppy nose, orchard fruit, light vanilla tones, pale malts. Taste follows, sharp hop flavour, butter, fruits. Medium bodied with soft carbonation leading to a bitter hoppy finish. Good stuff!

Aroma: Clean, fresh aroma of straw-like notes, vine tomatoes and grapefruit.
Appearance: Hazy golden body with a delicate white head. Lively carbonation. Slight lacing on the glass.
Taste: Light, fruity flavours. Not much in the way of malt character, but it’s very hoppy and easy drinking. Good bitterness.
Palate: Thin body with a watery, slightly oily mouthfeel. Nice carbonation fizz.
Overall: A very hoppy golden ale - light moreish and refreshing. This is the second beer I’ve had from this brewery and they’ve both been pretty good. Will keep an eye out for their other beers.

Aroma: Earthy, musty candy sweetness and some citrus. I agree with BeerCast_Rich that there’s a pot pourri quality to it.
Appearance: Cloudy, golden body with a medium white head. Lively carbonation. Good lacing.
Taste: Light caramel with soft lemony notes. A little bit grassy and earthy. Lingering, bitter finish.
Palate: Thin to medium body with a slightly oily texture. Average carbonation.
Overall: An interesting hop combination that works pretty well. This is a decent golden ale.

50cl bottle thanks to unstablefable. Pours amber with a nice layer of thin lace. The nose has not much and then a gentle toffee note comes through eventually. The taste has caramel biscuits with a tangy nutty finish. The palate has a medium body and texture with a balanced clean finish. Overall, a well balanced bitter.

50cl bottle thanks to unstablefable. Pours a lovely orangey-gold with a small but attractive lace. The nose is very intriguing - caramel, probably strawberry jam, campino sweets, then a biscuit backbone. The taste is highland toffee, ginger biscuits and nutty. The palate is medium bodied and has a tangy texture with a long tangy finish. Overall, a sweety nose that turns into a bitter on the taste - well made.
