Jug from the cellar at the Lower Red Lion, St Albans 7/7/07. Pale gold colour with a white, lacy head. Aroma was was of slightly sweet grain. Flavour started with a touch more sweetness before a hoppy dry finish kicked in. Good.

Full pint at The Lower Red Lion, St Albans. Hazy orange body under a small white head. Fruity aroma and citrus fruits in a very cautious flavour. Thin palate. Hardly more than ordinary (28.09.2006).

Cask gravity at Rare Breeds BF 06. Pale gold with white head. This is so like Hopdaemon Golden Braid as to be untrue. Its a JHB/Hophead wannabe. Very astringent finish. Bit too much grassy hop one end. Good enough but the hop is a bit unbalanced.

Cask Conditioned at Banbury Beer Festival Fri 21-04-06. Amber beer that gave a malty aroma and some malt in the taste with hops. This was absolutely fine but didn’t really stand out.

[Cask at Volunteers Arms, GBBF 2004] A hazy orange beer with a small white head. The aroma is sweet hoppy, while the flavor is lovely fruity and very hoppy and grassy, giving it a dry end. But the body is thin.

(Cask)Ochre-amber, clear; 2cm white foam, stable. Hoppy nose, British style, a bit dusty, vaguely caramel malt. Bitter; nice balance but the hops were not very noble. Light bodied but not thinnish. Nice, worth developping (that's more to the brewer than to the punter...).
