Cask (handpump) at the Gribble Inn, Oving, West Sussex, February 2006. I like the way Gribble is not afraid to brew to a decent alcohol level (for a British brewery), but this was one of their weaker efforts I thought. Golden colour, with a quite faint aroma - slight lemony citrus. More citrus on the palate. The mouthfeel is quite soft and light bodied. A perfectly decent drop but could do with a bit more clout, and somewhat lacking in the strong aromatic elements that I would hope to find in a golden ale.

Gravity cask at Middle Farm, East Sussex. Golden amber with a faint aroma of citrus and hops. Hoppier on the tongue with decent balance. Reasonable palate but lacks punch as Chris says. Not bad, but the Tipple is better.
