Tasted this in the Golden Acorn, Glenrothes (JDW) in August 2007. Cask, handpump dispense. Clear sparkling gold in colour with a thin white head. Strong pale malt present in the long aroma. Good creamy mouthfeel with a thin syrupy texture and excellent lacing. Pale malt base gives a digestive biscuit base with sweet golden syrup notes. Dusty hop resins give a dry citrusy tang to the long aftertaste. Finish is again zesty with lemon & lime notes to the fore along with biscuity malt. A decent ESB and the strongest ale in the Fyfe portfolio - but why stick with the pale types - come on Fyfe, give us a dark barley wine to even things up!
