Hand pulled at the Wellington, Birmingham. Beautifully silk, oiley fresh lime, hop start. Not too sharp, more of a fruit-gum sweetness. Goes a bit malty on the finish, a bit weetabix, but generally this doesn’t spoil things. Beautiful fresh Golden.

First tasted this in Gabriels, Paisley in May 2002. Cask, handpump dispense. Crystal clear pale straw in colour with a thin white head. Strong lemon peel on the nose and thin but refreshing mouthfeel. Good lacing throughout. Pale malts give a juicy tart note of grapefruit and lemon zest. Floral dusty hop resins give a good aftertaste. Citric notes in the dry finish. Typical summer session golden ale.

Cask in the market porter. Alround rating: Pale sweet malts, grassy hop, earthy minerally either from the yeast or hop, but its not very bitter.

Cask at Wellington Arms, Bedford. Citric aroma. Sour grapefruit taste, with just a little sweetness and a mid bitter finish. Pretty ordinary golden, though perhaps it has a bit more flavour than most.

(Hand pulled)Yet another pale straw coloured brew from this Shefford brewery. Loose white head, freshly mown hay in the aroma. Fruity and hoppy taste, with a dry bitter finish. A good pint, shame it's seasonal.
