Can bought at Andover Tap, Andover. Aroma is fruity, a hint of resin but also has an underlying cardboard edge. Hazy amber-gold. Thick fluffy off-white head. Medium bitter. Sour edge. Tangy more than zesty. Quinine. Weird salty streak. Light bodied. Slick. Fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. It's OK but clearly an twiggy pushing brewery attempting a more modern and chucking a loaf of fashionable hops in so it just ends up quite raw. Not in a West Coast way, just not quite right.

Bottle from Wine Rack, Burpham. Aroma is sweet and buttery with a sour off edge. An attractive neon amber. Thin bubbly translucent white head. Medium bitter with a sour streak. Quinine and grapefruit. Underlying sweet malty butteryness. Light bodied. Thin. Fizzy carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. A malty IPA. Just not great verging on buttery quinine averageness.

Bottle from Sessions Farm Shop, Windlesham. Aroma is saccharine and caramel sweet with an underlying mayonnaise streak. Light copper gold. Thin creamy white head. Medium bitter. Sour streak. Citrus. Malty underbelly but alongside that is a mayo off streak. Some spice and quinine appear into the finish. Light-medium bodied. Slick but on the thin side. Fizzy carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. This beer is a mess. A hoppy unbalanced Golden Ale with off noted. Crafty brew numerous beers which raise money for various charitable wings and this like the others is presumably some sort of rebadge. This beer pissed me off and I wasn't expecting much in the first place.

[50cl bottle from the Farm Shop at the new garden centre on the A30.] A bright golden amber pour with a thin white head; sour grainy aroma; rather jammy in the mouth with sour grains and some bitter marmalade; and a tart bitter finish. Not bad.

Bottle from Cobbett's, Dorking. Earthy malty aroma with underlying fruity streak. Amber. A thin foamy translucent white head. Initial hit of light-medium sournes over the top. Light bitter core - malts and grains. Bitter into the finish. Medium bodied. Slick. Fizzy carbonation. Dry slightly astringent finish. Inoffensive. Drinkable.

Thanks to Mark! Smooth golden beginning. Dry, malty with an intense dry dusty bitterness. Low in carbonation. Refreshing with a dry grainy golden finish with a bitter neutral back.

Many thanks to Mark. Smooth golden bitterness, easy to drink. Lots of dry maltiness, grainy straw. Dry bitter in the aftertaste, grainy dry in the end.

Keg at Love Beer London. Spicy yeasty aroma. Light amber. Creamy frothy white head. Initial lagery sweet edged sour tastiness, before some spicy bitterness comes through. Light bodied. Slick if thin. Average-fizzy carbonation. Astringent finish. It's fine.
