Hazy amber body topped by an one-finger, white head. Nice glass-lacing. Floral hoppy aroma. Malty flavour well paired with spicy hops. Dry bitter finish. Medium bodied. Actually a quite sophisticated beer (20.06.2009).

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 13, 2009 Cask - The Glasshouse (JDW), Norwich. Clear, golden colour with a medium size, lasting, creamy white head, which left a good lacing. Good toasty malt and grassy, fruity hop balance. The fruitiness of both the malt and hop are balanced but neither seemed developed fully. Finishes with a nice dry hoppy finish; a good all-round golden ale.
