12th July 2011
Chelmsford Beer Festival. Being served at the same time as Golden Crust Summer Ale and described by the Brentwood guys as ’a totally different beer’. Hazy amber beer, suddy off white head. Light sulphur in the nose. Light palate, low carbonation and dry. Mild pale malt, a light touch of hop but what there is tastes of rich orange. Actually fairly well balanced. Dry finish. Mild sulphur distracts.
