Cask (gravity dispense) at Reading Beer Festival on 27 April 2011. Clear gold colour. Biscuity aroma. More of a traditional feel than vibrant aromatic hops. Clean and quite refreshing but a little uninspiring. A respectable, straightforward quaffer.

A very solid blonde ale. Poured a very pleasant golden colour and first impressions were encouraging. It is was very light and refreshing, with distinct citrusy overtones and a well balanced bitterness. Would definitely try again
