Bottled. Bright golden body with a large foaming white head. Lovely hoppy aroma. Hoppy flavour with moderate bitterness, this light a friendly ale was very pleasant indeed. Baggs of sediment in the bottom so take care when pouring from the bottle. A London Gathering spare, thanx chris_o.

The Brewers' Gold hops give this beer a clean and zingy character. Bright copper colour. Fresh grapefruit notes on the nose. Bags of hoppy bitterness, with hints of sharp oranges on the palate, but not at all astringent. Clean dry finish. Very drinkable and refreshing. Bottled (bottle conditioned). Currently, this beer is only available in bottle from Tastebuds, but I was told it might be produced in cask form if it is popular. Tastebuds is the general store attached to, and associated with (but not owned by) the brewery and is well worth a visit. The beers are bottled by hand straight from the cask in a small room off the shop. And the two pubs owned by the brewery, the Victoria directly opposite and the Station in nearby Framlingham are excellent too.
