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.

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.

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.
