Commercial Description:
Cask; Seasonal - April & May.
An exceptional clean bitterness with a hint of Seville oranges which compliment a clear all malty base of East Anglian Pale Ale malt but hopped with a superb new entrant ‘First Gold’.

Cask at the Market Porter. Light fruit and citrus? aromas. Tarnished gold color with a frothy white head. A bit less than medium body with smooth carbonation. Swear there’s ginger in it. Finishes lightly sweet, not quite balanced by the ginger? spice. Some kind of hottish spice - pepper? Good.

A Mes rate: Cask at The Wenlock.
Lovely golden blonde with a good white head and excellent condition. Wheat, straw and hops with a slight sweetness. Bitter finish. Promises much in the beginning, delivers little in the end.

Cask at Wellington Arms, Bedford. Amber with a small white head. Hoppy aroma with some pear. Taste is slightly astringent, though not unpleasantly so. I struggled to find the right simile. Flint? Gunmetal? Ash? Oil? None of these is quite right. Bitter finish. Fair, but it will not become my favourite Adnams beer.

Pint @ Bridge House, SE1. Light golden body, small head. Very hoppy and dry. Fruitness in the hops and some sort of tar - ish flavour; very intense and spicy. All in all a good pint.

Dark golden with a small white head. Tiny floral hop aroma. Bitter and dry flavour with a hint of caramel sweetness, and long lasting bitterness.
