Bottle direct from the brewer. Light gold, small white head which dissipates quickly, not much retention. Hoppy citrus aroma particularly lemon, some flora. Taste is lemon, grapefruit, grassy, a little crisp. Finish has a mild bitterness and zesty citrus. Pleasant if a little one dimensional.

Bottle purchased direct from the brewer. Now showing as their take on a West Coast IPA. Deep gold, small white head with some retention but no lacing. Aroma is hoppy, malt, yeast, orange peel. Taste is zesty citrus peel, malts, a little spice. Moderate body and carbonation starts zingy but soon settles. Well balanced. Decent.

Bottle purchased and delivered directly from the brewer as part of a mixed pack. Recently bottled. Its my nearest brewery so thought its about time I tried some beers from them. Clear orange gold, small white head with some retention. Aroma of malts, caramel and honey. Taste is the same as aroma, quite malty and biscuit like. Moderately sweet with a decent level of bitterness for a golden ale. Quite a high zingy carbonation at first but it settled down to moderate. Decent body for a 3.9% ABV. Very enjoyable and has a refreshing session quality to it.

Half-pint by cask, shared with Finn after breakfast at Figure of Eight (JDW). Patchy white head leaving crocheted lacing behind. Clear golden. Moderate oily hops on the nose, hints of grain. Taste of mid-sweet caramel malts and oily hops. Ends bittersweet. Quite alright. (Birmingham 04.02.2020).

4/12/2019. Bottle from Warwick Real Ale. Pours pale amber with an average size just off-white head. Aroma of hops, citrus, grapefruit, malt, flowers and a hint of pine. Moderate sweetness and medium bitterness. Moderate body, slight oily texture, average carbonation. Nicely done, and best of the Silhill beers I got from WRA.
