Bottle from local garden centre. Clear gold/light amber with decent white top and lacing. Pleasant if simple aroma of citrus, grapefruit, cereals. Taste is quite sweet and bready with reasonable fruitiness - pear and passion fruit notable. Also a floral moderate bitterness in the finish. Medium bodied, fine carbonation. Nice golden ale, enjoyed it. [Hops: Jester, OIicana, Pilgrim]

Bottle from Webbs of Wychbold, between Bromsgrove and Droitwich. Dark ruby colour with quite a fizzy off white head which leaves a small swirl. Aroma is more promising with light earthiness, biscuit, nuts, red berries, flora, sweetness. Taste wise it follows the same path, some richness and depth to the malt but ultimately balanced by the right amount of sweetness and the light+ slick body and a tingle of hops - very nice.
