3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Cask (handpump) at the Great British Beer Festival Day 2, August 2009. Pale blonde colour. A middle of the road golden ale with some citrus and just a hint of something spicy. Clean mouthfeel. No complaints but there were just too many similar beers at GBBF and there was nothing to make this one stand out from the crowd.

[cask at 2009 GBBF, Earl’s Court] Pale golden ale with delicate hop aroma. Pour is extremely golden – the flavour is a touch watery and maybe lacking something. Not really much zing for a golden ale, it’s quite sweet. Refreshing, decent enough, but maybe a bit too average [05082009]
