Cask-conditioned at the Wellington, Birmingham 31/08/10. Deep gold in colour with a slight white head. Big, apricot fruit aroma with a mineral edge. Sweet, fruity flavour with some prickly hops and moderately dry finish. Unusual.

Bottle. Cloudy and bitter,A surprising amount of body considering its relatively low strength, Slightly acidic and too bitter for my taste. Sure a lot of people would like it.

bottle as Budleigh Golden. Slightly hazy golden colour, large and rocky white head. Light and refreshing with a nice zesty, citrusy touch. Good thirst quencher for the summer.

Hand pulled at the Wellington, Birmingham. Nice enough golden beer. Thinnish in the mouth and ticks most of the boxes with regard to balance, hops, lightness etc. Perhaps a little dry and aroma was a little musty.
