It is a full-bodied Golden IPA, with lots of American hops to balance off the sweet cara-malt.

On gravity at the Rising Sun beer festival, Frampton Cotterell, South Gloucestershire 29/08/10. Amber with a slight, off-white head. Sweetish malt aroma with some floral hops. Fruity, citrus flavour, some caramel with a slightly hoppy, dry finish. Good.

Leighton (4087) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - OCT 25, 2010
Cask at CPK, London. Pours a cloudy, yellow-gold with a light film. Some sediment floating around. Holds a honey, citrus nose. Lightly sweet flavor with crisp, delicate, almost tart bitterness. Light in body with fine carbonation. Some grassy bitterness in the finish with mild malts. Not bad.

maeib (6618) - Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, ENGLAND - OCT 21, 2010
Cask Conditioned Handpump Cask Pub & Kitchen London. A golden beer with off-white wisps of head. Quite a restrained strong golden ale. Little by way of aroma. Reasonable fruity hops in the mouth. Decent bitterness. Perfectly drinkable but quite ordinary.

Fin (5749) - Merton, Oxfordshire, England, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - JUL 9, 2010
Cask at the Barnes Wallis, Ripley, Derbyshire, 08-07-10 Pours warm gold with a slim white rim of bubbles around the edge. This is sweet & soft in the mouth, hoppy some light exotic fruits, some bitterness at end, touch soft & squidgy. A fine enough beer but sometimes the sweetness is a bit too much for me. 6 A4 T7 P4 Ov13 3.4
