Cask at GBBF 2009. A bit buttery, decent hop on end. Good condition, lovely clear gold colour, thin off white head. Some white pepper on the hop. Bit too empty in the middle though. OK though. White pepper on finish is good.

(Cask at Mill Hotel, Chester, 21 July 2009) Copper colour with brief, white head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of dried fruit, toffee and dusty hops. Fruity, malty taste with dried apricots, biscuity malt and hints of dusty hops in the finish. Medium body, balanced sweetness. Decent but hardly exciting.

Cask@GBBF 2009. Golden color, small white head, some lace. Light citrusy (lime peel) hops. Similar citrusy hops in the flavor, some sweetish maltyness too. Quite cidery flavor.

Cask@GBBF2009. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is sourish wood, dry fruits, as well as some mild notes of sweet malts. Flavour is bready malts, dry wood, some herbal and grassy notes as well. A quite pleasant golden ale for once.

Cask at GBBF 05-08-09 Courtesy of Ian, cheers mate. Pours crystal clear goild with a white head, in fact as I remarked to Ian it looks stunning. Soft in the mouth, and maybe a touch thin, malts are a bit weak, bitterness a little insubstantial, its fine but the looks promised much more, bit like a blonde bimbo really. A6 A5 F6 P3 Ov13 3.3

Served at perfect drinking temperature at The White Star in Liverpool. Low, white head. Slightly foggy, copper-brown body. Fruit-floral aroma. Hop resin and lemon in the flavour added by notes of sweet roastiness. Brief moments of bitterness in the aftertaste. Light in the mouth. (cask, half pint 04.05.2009).
