UPDATED: MAR 13, 2005 Cask Conditioned at The Bell, Banbury.
Good malty aroma, this golden coloured beer is well balanced with clean malt taste and sweetish hops. Overall the effect is a sweet fruity beer, stronger than it drinks.

Cask at golden lion bristol. Fairly basic bitter, not much hop flavour to speak of. Just ok.

Cask at the Woolpack in Slad. Golden-brown copper, foamy light head. Sugary caramel malt nose, light fruity hop. Smooth and tasty.

First tasted this in Gabriels, Paisley in November 1999. Cask, handpump dispense. Clear gold in colour with a thick white head. Sweet golden syrup in the intense aroma. Resiny mouthfeel and good lacing. Pale malts deliver a rich digestive biscuit malt with golden syrup and lemon peel sweetness. Slight introduction of floral hops in the short bitter aftertaste soon gives way to warming mead like flavours in the moreish finish. A robust golden ale and a perfect alternative to all the bandwagon IPA’s out there.

UPDATED: OCT 18, 2011 Light amber colour. Wheat and lemon smell with some nut. Very smooth. No bitterness. Sweet apple tart that moves to a watery mid and a bready sweet malt finish. Little acid aftertaste Yum!

Cask @ The Old Crown, Kelston nr. Bath. Med gold. Served impeccably fresh with bright and balanced aromas and flavors. The malt character is totally solid and blends well with the friendly, leafy hops. Absolutely sessionable.

Cask at the Claude de Vall (JDW), Camberley. Slightly hazy golden amber body with a loose white head; malty aroma; fruity malty flavour - slightly thin in body; with a gentle bitter finish. Very drinkable.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cask.
Aroma is fine malt, some fruit notes, deep amber, tiny off-white head. Flavour has appreciably more malt, fruit than the nose, also some toffee. Light bodied, very well balanced, great mouthfeel, so smooth and easy to quaff. Terrific!

Cask at the Prince of Wales, Wimbledon, 13th May 2010 (BeerTart’s leaving drinks). Dark copper colour. Slightly funky nose. Bland run of the mill bitter flavour, finish and palate. Uninspired.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask. Deep golden colour with mediumsized white fluffy head that leaves some slight lace and also lasts for quite a while. Aroma is honey, fruits, some floral notes as well as mild wood and earth. Flavour is caramel malts along with wood and some fruits. Finish has some semidry grassyness in it. Pleasant and drainkable.
