Bottle from Crockford Bridge Farm Shop, Addlestone. Soft scented aroma - a mixture of dough, honey and floral elements. Light amber. A tad hazy. Thin but creamy white head. I usually this seemed a bit raw but it grew on me. Sweet fruit sugars, honeydew melon. An underlying citrus bitterness. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft carbonation. Abrupt finish. Guess being on it's side in a vibrating fridge didn't help matters. One it settled it grew on me. Had thought of adding it as a Gold but read a description that I now cannot locate which mentioned US hops and I'd say it's not just a basic Gold take on a Pale Ale.
