[cask at SRAF’11] Clear golden pour with a thin white head. Some hop on the nose, together with a vague malt sweetness. The balance is there on the taste as well – this is clearly well-made, but just a bit too insipid. Finish fades away rather than ending dry, the faint hop profile peters out (no pun intended) [16062011]

Clear brown beer. Crisp palate. Nicely joined up beer. Dark bitter toffee and some hop fruit.

Malt and a little yeast, rather light weight. Lacks the bitter edge to make it really refreshing or quaffable. Not bad, just not worth seeking out.

Cask@Loughborough Beer Festival, 2010. Golden beer with a mildly fruity aroma, and a dry and hopped flavour. Overall a reasonable dry and gently bitter beer.

Cask
Pale gold pint, creamy head.
Nice hop nose; bit of citrus and stonefruit, malt takes a backseat.
Lean body, quite dry, low carbonation.
Hops dominate body, grapefruit, bitter orange, spice, hint of honeyish malts. Reasonably good bitter finish.
Enjoyable, hop-driven ale; one of the better ones i’ve come across in Scotland.

Cask at the Prince of Wales, Aberdeen. Amber with a dense white head; citrus aroma; light citrus flavour with a touch of honey; light grapefruit bitterness to finish. Very refreshing, a good example of a Golden Ale.
