Cask at GBBF. Slightly hazy brown beer. Very light malt and hops, too light, comes over as quite watery and wishy washy.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Tasted this in the Saltcot, Saltcoats (JDW) in November 2010. Cask, handpump dispense. Crystal clear gold in colour with a thick white head.
Faint note of sweet malt in the short aroma. Thin watery mouthfeel and good lacing. Pale malts give a sweet taste of syrupy lychees and icing sugar. Dusty citric note to the lemony hops, giving a short lived bitter aftertaste. Finish is rather insipid with hoppy resins evident. An ok session bitter but nothing exceptional.

JDW, Hemel Hempstead. Sweet, clean and pleasantly hoppy - fragrant and citric. A well made, refreshing and very attractive pale beer.
