Cask Conditioned at Charlie’s pub, Copenhagen
Light amber color. Some aroma of yeast. Fresh taste, some malt, correct bitterness, easily drinkable, but also yeast flavor.

April 2009
Clear gold beer. Very nicely balanced for a gold beer, Nice level of sweet nalt with some nice orange and mango fruit hop coming through. Too dry though! Nice flavour - but too bloody dry!

Clear gold with thin white head. Nice malty toffee, butter and sugar type aroma. Some hops, vanilla, smooth mouthfeel. I really enjoyed this, pleasantly surprised and will drink again if I see it. .

On tap, pours golden. Aroma and flavour of bland citrus hops balanced by English malt. Not too good.

Cask at the Bridge, Kingswinford. Aroma was some floral hops. Taste started floral, straw in the finish and a little butter in the aftertaste.

Flavor is moderate sweet and light bitter with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft to flat. [20090409]

Cask in the new crown and the pub on fox’s lane on the way home from the new crown. Alround rating: Honey, cane sugar, pale biscuity malt, light floral hop, on the sweet side of balanced.

Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading. Straw coloured with a thin white head; sweet floral aroma; similar flavour - elderflower? - then some jammy fruit and a light prickly bitterness to finish.

Cask at Barony bar ... light amber ... light sweet hop nose ... with a very standard golden ale hop fruit... non descript.

UPDATED: APR 29, 2009 [on draught at the Oakford Social Club, Reading] A reasonable sweet dark golden bitter, a little fruity, very smooth and easy drinking. Not outstanding but slips down easily; a good session beer. Re-rate 28/4/2009. Amber. Sweet, citrussy beer. Pleasantly refreshing and more tasty than I remember.
