3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 imdownthepub (8492) - Banbury, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - MAR 26, 2011
Cask conditioned, Gravity poured at Far From the Madding Crowd, Oxford. Burnished Gold with off white head. A bit of an off note to start with, the old butterscotch hint, but then it flowers in to a fruity, light beer, plums and strawberries, squidgy ripeness. Would have liked a little more bitterness, but overall quite reasonable.

(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm, 4 Dec 2009) Golden colour with foamy, white head. Fruity nose with notes of apricots, citrus and honey. Fruity taste with apricots, citrus, grass and malty sweetness. Rather light body. A decent golden ale, but a touch too sweet for my liking.
