On draught, Griffin, Carlisle. A very drinkable golden ale, sweet, almost sugary aroma and taste, but not overbearing, making this a really pleasant drink.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
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.

Halfway house. Aroma is pale hints at biscuity malt, some honey fruit character, not overly sweet but i cant really find hops. Taste is similar though a noteable grassyness kicks in.

Cask-conditioned at the Victoria, Clifton, Bristol 29/01/09. Dark gold with a slight, off-white head. Aroma of caramel, strawberries and floral hops. Flavour began with a whiff of diacetyl, before some more fruit and a good dry finish. Drinkable.

(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.
