Cask at the 19th Egham Beer Festival. Bright straw with a thin white head; fruity aroma; berry fruit taste with a light bitterness; and a biscuity finish. A pleasant Golden Ale, but nothing more.

Bottle shared with AshtonMcCobb. I’m too Sussexy for this Tasting. Pours clear pale gold with a thick white head. Aromas of light citrus, something green, leafy. Taste is dry bitter, balanced. Not bad, but not a right lot going on. Gassy too.
