Taste: Fruity, tangy notes of cherry and blackcurrant. Damp wood, too. Subtle chocolate notes - not a very rich flavour. Bitter finish.

Aroma: Almost no aroma. Very subtle straw notes.

Appearance: Clear golden body with a thin frothy white head. Very light carbonation. Great lacing.

Taste: Easy drinking but rather forgettable. Whatever flavour is in this is very well hidden.

Palate: Thin to medium body with a slick, oily mouthfeel. Very light carbonation prickle.

Overall: A pleasant but unremarkable, unmemorable Golden Ale. The whole thing tastes very diluted.

Aroma: Green, fresh hoppy aroma. Subtle aroma of biscuit and peach.

Taste: Very smooth and easy to drink. Nice caramel sweetness with a decent amount of bittering hops to provide some balance. Flavours of biscuit, earth and herbs.

Palate: Medium body with a very oily texture. Very light carbonation.

Overall: Not the most interesting or complex beer but extremely easy to drink.

[Cask at Reading BF] Very pale amber. Floral with hints of seaweed. Some tropical fruit - kiwi maybe? A little sulphur, a little spice. It’s OK, but I can’t really understand why everyone’s raving about this one. c4

Cask handpull at Reading BF 2012. Black beer lasting beige head. Some dark malts. Yes that is pretty tasty. A touch of newspaper but otherwise a really good deep full tasting beer. Good spritzy finish too. Decent
