25/7/2023. Bottle bought at the brewery. Pours almost clear straw gold with a small lasting frothy white head leaving good lacing. Aroma is lemony, citrus hops, light malt, straw and yeast with just a hint of sulphur. Moderate to medium sweetness with a little honey sweetness initially, and a super hoppy bitterness. Moderate body, soft carbonation. Long bittersweet finish with a slight citric tartness coming through. Very drinkable. One of the nicest tasting English bottled golden’s I’ve had for some time.
