Soft caramel malty with lots of grape and some tropics. Piney bitterness.
Medium to light bodied. Soft and low (but not too flat) carbonation.
Lovely thirst quencher.

Guest beer on draught at the old manor in bracknell. Golden but slightly cloudy beer with a short head and that took a little while to settle. Nice hoppy aroma with a hint of citrus. Its pleasant on the palate too, sweet and with a dry bitter taste. One of the better english blonds. Looking forward to trying the other hophead variants.

Hoppy and grassy aroma, very typical to a golden ale. Flavour is also typical, some grassy hops and hints of spices. Very hopped and enjoyable for a real ale.

Hand pump @ The Craft Beer Co, London. Clear yellow pour with a small bubbly head. Aroma is very citrusy on the hops, herbal too, weed, almost a bit peppery and spicy, and event a hint of basement-like dank hop aromas. Taste has fresh hop bitterness, citrusy and weed-like, light malty pleasant beer to drink, but the hops have a slight astringency.
