3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Gentle nose with some orange peel, some candy and some herb garden leaves in autumn. Pours a slightly lifeless deep gold. Flavour is more golden ale than blonde - the wheat is barely detectable. A good finishing bitterness rounds it off but not much happens before this. Fine and fair but not up with much of the rest of what this exceptional brewery are producing.

Cask - Euston Tap, London. A clear golden yellow beer with a medium-sized creamy, mostly lasting & lacing white head. Good citrus and pale malts all round with a subtle floral edge. Bittersweet in the finish; well balanced, remaining crisp and quaffable throughout. A light dryness on the palate. Light to medium body, soft palate texture with a delicate spritz and a low intensity, medium length hoppy finish.

On cask (gravity dispense) at Great British Beer Festival, day 3 on 6 August 2009. Attractive bright gold colour. Clean, with some citrus. Decent enough but I thought it could use more hops.
