Bottle. A pale yellow gold ale, this has quite a coarse grainy and slightly yeasty feel to it. The finish is a bit better with a decent hop bite. Ok.

1/2 at the Tilley Stone Gareshead. Bright Gold with a thin white head. Cereal aroma, like weetabix. Nice heather honey and grassy herbal flavours. Slick and creamy mouthfeel. Just when you’re getting bored with bog standard around-4%-blond ales, one comes along that reminds you what you liked about the in them first place. Bitter finish is a bonus. A little more alcohol wouldn’t hurt though.
