Cask at Bird in Hand, Stafford. Pours a golden amber with a faiz-sized white head and good lacing. Malts to the fore in the aroma, plus some hints of nuts. In the mouth it has a distinct creamy texture and is slightly sweet overall. Flavours of toffee, honey and some dried fruit. Later summer fruits come through. Finish is slightly dry and fruity. This is decent. Would call it a bitter not a golden ale though.

Rocky white head left a froth on a clear copper coloured body. Malt, biscuit & caramel aroma. Medium bodied, lively with a cloying back. Malt, caramel, grain, toffee & honey tastes with a tangy lightly hopped finish. Decent enough.

Pours a clear amber colour with a tiny loose head. The aroma is light malts, caramel and a hint of biscuit. A moderately sweet malty taste, sweet toasty malts, caramel, and light citrus flavours and a moderate bitterness.

Bottle from Bowland Brewery shop. Appearance - golden amber with a nicely proportioned off white head. Nose - toffee, orange and biscuit. Taste - bready and cakey. Yippee mainly apart from that. Palate - light to medium bodied. Fairly dry finish. Overall - decent, more a bitter than a golden ale.

66cl bottle from the Bowland Brewery shop. Appearance - golden and clear with a nicely proportioned snow white head. Nose - delicate pale malt and citrus. Taste - again delicate and almost elusive. Malt and lemon and clean, almost watery. Palate - light bodied, clean delicate finish. Overall - hood lager, would say more Helles than Pilsner.
