Cask at White Hart, Tongham. Grassy aroma, with a citrus edge. Also a hint of vinegar. Medium gold. Thin but creamy white head. An initial low key bitterness with real citrus tones. A malt base comes through but gradually becomes less obvious. Light-medium bodied. Slick if light bodied. Average carb. Astringent finish. Decent enough. More character than I expected but didn't particularly excite me.

Cask at White Hart, Chobham. Indistinct cooked veg and some citrus aroma. Not good. Light gold. Thin blotchy head. Starts off light bitter and gets stronger. Underlying sweetness. Malty. Grapefruit. Light-medium bodied. Slick, somewhat chalky. Long finish. A hoppy gold, so yeah an Un-American Pale Ale. Fine. Nothing to write home about.

Cask at Egham Beer Fest, 13/04/17. Sweet fruit and caramel aroma, with mineral hints. Bright gold. Frothy but thin white head. Light bitter. Gets malty into the finish. Tangy fruit/jelly sweets but all minimal. Light bodied. Slick mouthfeel. Soft carbonation - an almost soda water sensation. Long if low key finish. OK at best. Disliked the palate.

Bottle from Bourne Valley Farm Shop. Dark amber. Surprising hazy - it’s been stored upright. Thin white head. Initial sweetish fruit, caramel.and malts. The hoppy bitterness come to the fore. This continues through in to the long dry finish, although it’s never particularly overt and more malty in terms of aftertaste. Pretty light bodied which is emphasised by the lively carbonation. Pleasant enough but fails to make the conversion. Not sure I’d want a session on this as I think I’d get tired of the carbonation and aftertaste.

Bottle at home, bought from Bourne Valley Farm Shop. Sweet aroma - floral, burnt sugar, malt. Light chestnut. The off-white head soon fades away to a few spots. Still quite cold so may be doing it a injustice in terms of flavour. A light sweetness. Caramel. Gets more malty in to the finish - a hint of bitterness. Light bodied. Not unfair to describe it as watery. A real fizz from the carbonation in to the finish, which is quite abrupt. Can’t argue with this being described as a session beer, but not one I’d pick over new ticks.

Bottle from Inn at home, Guildford. Pours almost black with a tan head, diminishing to nothing quite quickly. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, cherry and rhubarb. Sweet, longitude roasted bitterness, touch of sour. Light to medium body, slight dry/oily texture, quite highly carbonated. Finish is dry and roasted.

Bottle at home. From Inn At Home, Guildford. Citrus aroma. An opaque amber. Very thin white head. Hmmm... May have not had time to settle since the drive home. Bitterness grows in strength. A kick in the finish. Light bodied. Soft. Long finish. More going on than your usual golden ale.
