Light haze on this gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and mildly dry, decent minerally crispness. Light malts. Crisp citrc hops, bitterish orange peel and grapefruit. Whisper of sweeter fresher orange on the crisp finish. Bitterish peel linger. Nice. Crisp, clean and refreshing.

Coggleshall beer festival. Cask. Almost opaque dark brown beer, small pale tan head. Palate is smooth, semi dry, modest fine carbonation. The dark malts bring plenty of treacle and a little marmite. Little dark fruits. Some mild bitterness on the finish. Not bad, bit treacley.

Hazy gold beer, decent pale cream colour head. Palate is light and finely minerally crisp. Thin malts, mildly sweet. Great EKGs here. Crisp tangerine and orange, more at the peel end of the citric spectrum. A little bittern lemon. Mild cooling pine. Light crisp finish leaves a mild citric bitter linger. Crisp, clean and drinkable. When Brit hops are used wisely - they rock!

Almost clear gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is smooth and mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Smooth light malts with a nice light sweetness. Little bready malts as well. Some floral sweetness quickly gives way to a spicy floral bite, a little spicy grass as well. Trace of orange. Mild hop bitterness. Light finish. Nice clean and satisfying gold and as much as I love big alpha fruity hops, it's nice to have something like this as well.
