500ml bottle. Dark gold, small white head, ok retention. Aroma of biscuit malts, lemon, herbs, flora. Taste follows aroma with a bit more orange zest, moderate bitterness, light to moderate body but a bit too watery to enhance the beer. Its nice, better than most lagers, and damned with faint praise.

500ml bottle. Clear fizzy gold, thin white head with some circular retention. Crisp aroma of citrus, grass, some flora. Taste is zesty citrus, grassy, biscuit, quite sweet. The finish has a surprising smoothness to it with a moderate bitterness. Its a well balanced blonde. Not the most complex flavours but I enjoyed it.

Bottle @ 4.5%. Light amber pour, thin white head, some retention. Hoppy aroma of flora, grapefruit, spice, malts. Taste of grapefruit, a little orange, biscuit malts and a lovely gingery like spice. Light to moderate body which is good for a golden ale, with a nice carbonation. A very good beer with the brewery only 25 miles from me. Will be trying more of their brews after this one.

Cask-conditioned at the Maltings, York February 2020. Deep brown colour with some ruby undertones. Aroma was subdued, with a touch of toffee and dark fruit. The flavour was more assertive with dark chocolate and fruit, and a some toastiness in the finish. Good.

25th Apr 2020, four cask pints delivered in plastic bottles to my house during the virus Lock In, cheers John Ellis, the landlord of the Crown Inn, Oakengates. Clean golden/amber body, wispy white head. Citra hops obviously give the beer a 'citrus leaning' in both the nose and taste, lemon esters and flavours dominate the brew, decent malty base helps to give balance, but the Citra hops rule the roost.

The flavour is moderate sweet and liqourice bitter, with a smooth, rich, slightly oily, liqourice bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Gravicask at Stratford Alehouse, half-pint shared with Finn. Clear golden body, bubbles to the rim of the surface, scattered lacing. Inviting smell of oily hops, lightly spiced. Ripe citrus flavours, hints of spiced. Ends with a nice mid-dry bitter bite. Quite alright. (Stratford-upon-Avon 02.02.2020).
