There’s not much memorable about this one, good or bad. It’s distinctly average.

4.2%, gold colour with a thin head, fruit and hops aroma, malty, slightly hoppy, bitter taste, quite good

Bottle. Pale Gold. Barely any aroma, slighty fruity and a bit of pear drop. Sweet, fruity, buttery, zero hopping. A mess really.

light copper colour. aromas of apples, citrus and malts. Taste is light with distinctive hops in the background. very light pale ale unfortunately.

Amber, small beige head. A little remaining carbonation. Smells of honeyed orchard fruits and hard spices. Moderately sweet with some biscuits and some sticky caramel. Gentle but lingering bitterness. For a bottled bitter this is fine.

Quite the surprise packet. Lots of subtle complexity right through the nose and palate; minerals and gypsium, peppery woody hops, and a band of smokey fruits right in the back palate. Very subtle but I like the way it doesn’t try to force the issue.

bottle, Waitrose Abergavenny. Clear golden yellow, mid-sized head. Malty with some fruity flavours (apples and pears). Lingering hoppy finish.

Okay head gold coloured ale ample carbonation.Aroma fruity woody hoppy vinous.Flavour apples pears tart and strong woodyness,love these ales,hops have a rich taste,cumquart like taste lemon,finish fruity mix,bitter woody touch.

bottle, pours deep gold with a thin white head. Aroma is floral hop and light hay. Light malty flavors end with a light bitterness. Easy drinker, but kind of boring.

Good solid citrus flavours and a far amount depth. That said the typical english EPA but abit on the better side.
