Cask at the Bell, Waltham St Lawrence. Golden amber with a thin white head; fruity aroma with some cereal grains; soft orangey citrus taste; with a dry floral finish - perhaps with a touch of lavender. Pleasantly refreshing.

Cask, handpump at the Hop Pole, Aylesbury, Bucks, August 1st 2013 Pours warm gold, good clarity but very little head. Some sweet malt and citrus on nose. Quite thick in mouth, much fuller flavoured than you expect and despite the relatively modest 4.6% abv if tasted blind I would have suggested this was far, far stronger, in fact I really feel like this is quite hefty and difficult to grasp its just 4.6 hence why I also feel that it sits more comfortably in IPA territory than as a Golden, EPA etc. Bittersweet, tangy, touch of dusty hop at end but essentially a fairly in yer face beer, really pretty hoppy but with a hefty sweet malty backbone. Condition wise perhaps a tiny bit warm, otherwise likeable. A7 A4 T7 P4 Ov13 3.5

Cask at the Bell, Waltham St Lawrence. Amber with a tight cream head; and a muted cereal grain aroma; soft in the mouth with some subdued, fruity, malts; the finish is elegant, smooth, dry, and malty, and gives a slight warmth - very like a Speyside whisky. Defintely worth seeking out.

Cask at the Bell, Waltham St Lawrence. First impression was of a rather muddy looking dark beer with a scummy beige head; but holding it to the light revealed a golden colour with flashes of cherry red; the aroma is malty with a touch of brazil nuts; the taste is malty too, with some sweet Vimto fruits, but it’s all rather thin and watery; there some gentle bitterness leading to a doughy finish. A nice mild, but nothing more.

Taste comprises caramel malt, hops, light mineral notes, bitter orange. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, hop bitterness in the finish. A very decent hoppy bitter.
