A golden and hoppy bitter with some dryness in the finish. Creamy on the palate.

Dec 1, 2004 Hmm...curious. The beer that Dan and I tasted doesn’t sound much like the one Gazza tried earlier in the year. I had this down as a vibrant gold coloured beer, pale and dryish, in the style of a golden ale but without much in the way of floral hop notes. Didn’t notice any honey. perhaps Archers, having brewed what seems like a different beer each day of the year have run out of names and are now recycling them? Anyway, the beer that Dan and I tried was pretty run of the mill - perfectly drinkable, but not really very exciting. Cask (handpump), Head of Steam, Euston.

Nov 16, 2004 Hand pulled at the Head of Steam, Euston, in the company of chris o. Slick, hoppy beer. Quite dry with some grapefruit and lemon. A nice welcome home to rainy England.

Apr 2, 2004 An amber ale with a pronounced honey nose. Sweetish honeyed flavour, some drying hoppiness but the finish is pure liquified hives and a rich biscuitiness. It lacks balance, being too sweet and not having enough hop bitterness, but is enjoyable enough. Not sure I could drink a full pint though, that sweetness is a bit overbearing. (sampled on cask in the Orwell Bar, Wigan, UK)
