Bottle, Co-Op Hoylake. Poured a reddy brown colour with a dissipating off white head. Aroma and flavourwas caramel malt heavy with some muted hop. Some low key bitterness going down. Unremarkable yet tolerably drinkable.

Cask handpull at Hamilton Hall, JDW, London. Gold, lasting white head. Good condition. Honey really shines through. Gives it some sweetness, but keeps its balance. I liked it very much. Good honey and flavour balanced by hop. Good.

Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading. Very average and uninteresting. Pale gold with a thin white head; no noticeable aroma; lemon and lime flavours over a watery grainy base; little in the way of a finish. No sign of any honey.

Bottled at Horsens Beerfestival as Gold Miner. Clear golden with a medium white head. Aroma is moderate malty with some hops. Flavor is malt, toffee, fruity and quite hoppy, a little hint of liquorices in the finish. OK
