COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Mainly available bottled. Has been seen occasionally in cask.
Strong Golden Ale full of citrus hop flavour. Pale, Cara, Crystal and Wheat malts and English Pioneer and Goldings hops give a lovely citrus aroma and a well balanced flavour.
NOTE: Previously made with Maris Otter pale malt & Carapils malt and only one type of hop - Pioneer for bittering and aroma.

imdownthepub (7470) - Banbury, - JAN 23, 2011
Bottled, 500ml at The Pinto Lounge, Banbury. Gold with white head. Initial clean, crisp malt note is followed by a hint of caramel, there is also a touch of marmalade sweetness and orange peel. The real hoppiness doesn’t show through too much, but it is certainly drinkable.

RichardGretton (3758) - Leicestershire, ENGLAND - JAN 23, 2012
Bottle. Golden amber beer with a strongish head. The aroma is toffee hopped, and the flavour is toffee and caramel hopped with a bitter finish. Overall a reasonable bitter. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Tasty, fruity, crisp - this is a lovely ale. At room temperature, this is a perfect Thursday night beer!

Bottle. Bright gold with a low, subsiding collar. Good marmalade tang on the nose; pale biscuity malts, almond sniffs. Bright and tangy with stewed tea notes, orange-accented hop, hints of leafiness and fresh, clinging malts suggesting cashew and malted milk biscuits. Pretty juicy.
