Cask. Golden color with a small off-white head. The aroma’s grassy, some orange floral notes. The taste is mildly bitter. There’s some funky grapefruit citrus sour notes in the finish. medium/light body, soft carbonation. Overall, OK but nothing exceptional.

500 mL bottle from Beers of Europe into a pint glass. Short-lived foamy head over a golden orange beer. Sweet, floral hoppy aroma. Light, bitter with a juicy sweetness to it. Very smooth.

22/12/2011 Cask & 500ml bottle. Dorata, limpida, magnifica schiuma bianca, fine e morbidissima, molto persistente. Spettacolare aroma di luppolo, di una intensità incredibile, con note di malto ben evidenti. In bocca è moderatamente amara, il malto si fa sentire, il luppolo non è così aggressivo, ma è decisamente incisivo per la media delle golden ale inglesi. Corpo medio, carbonazione corretta. Golden ale spettacolare.

Bottle from Beers of Europe
Golden light orange, clear, frothy white head, reasonable lacing.
Aroma - Fairly strong citrus hops, resin, bit spicy, sweet malts.
Taste - Citrus, grapefruit and resin, juicy citrus fruits, bit spicy and peppery, sweet golden malts, centre of palate is bitter with prominent citrus tang. Some complexity to the flavour.
Palate - soft carb, medium smooth mouthfeel, bit oily, bit sherberty. Finish - Dry, puckering, bitter citrus lingering finish.
Overall - Superb golden ale - very well made - easy drinking and very quaffable. Must try again on cask.

Bottle. A deep golden colour. A pleasantly hoppy golden ale but feels a little lifeless from the bottle and cannot compare to their cask beers.

August 10, 2011 - Cask, at Craft Beer Co. Clear gold with a smallish off-white frothy head. Honey-sweet with background Amarillo funkiness, an interesting contrast: some floral character. Taste is very light, but in a good way - totally sessionable, quite flavourful - Amarillo present but restrained; light honey/grainy malt in proper balance - no alcohol (almost 8/10). Light of body, mild carbonation - a medium-short finish - it’s a hop-forward beer that is not aggressive at all - light, refreshing, not too sweet, just something you could drink several pints of with ease. Colour me impressed.
