Nose is cereal, slight caramel,grain. Taste is as promised, is honey, red currents, apples a little citrus leading to a short lightly bitter sweetish finish hoppy finish with a slight metallic note. Mouthfeel is slightly to carbonated. It’s largely good but the metallic note really lets it down. In a strange way it reminds me of the bitter my dad used to drink in the 80s....

Glowing copper coloured ale with a light bitterness. Has a fantastic creamy head and slightly thin in its texture. It has a light fruitness for its flavour, more evident in its aftertaste, but not so in aroma.

Two hand-pulled pints in The Cock Hotel Wellington on 20 April 2012. Golden brew with a good deep head of white bubbles on top: tried to stay the distance and almost managed too. The nose a mixed bag of smells: mild malts with a pleasant fruity hop content. The taste is also a good, interesting blend with again the malts coming first followed by the bittering hops with a more citrus hint than in the smell. Well balanced and semi-sweet in the after-taste, makes a change from the now almost normal blonde hoppy brews being brewed up and down the country.

Cask, Delamere Forest Golf Club, Cheshire. Brownish looks with a middling off white head. Biscuity malts with some bitterness towards the finish. Decent enough guzzler. The first pint of this barely touched the sides after the exertions and frustration of the previous18 holes... Fore !!
