Bottled 5% ; Devon ; UK ; Malt,caramel,yeast,fruit and citrusy aroma ; Unclear golden color with minimal head ; Medium sweet taste with bitter long finish ; Soft carbon ; Pretty good.

Golden ale with a small head. It’s hopped based with a good aroma, slightly drier in the palate with a general fruitiness.

Bottle. Tried whilst on holiday in Oxford February 2013. Pleasant slightly bitter flavour. Went very well with steak I was eating at the time.

A - Pours a golden orange. Slightly murky with chunks of sediment floating around. Towards the end, the chunks form one blob at the bottom. 1/2 inch head the melts quick. little to no lacing. S - Citrus hops, funky lemon, a very tangy fruit/wheat flavor. Sweet bread. Sour/funky smell is unexpected but welcomed. T - Citrus hops up front, sour yeast, watered down tangy wheat, mild hops on the back of the tongue. A pretty good beer. I love the sour notes in the smell and flavor. Citrus hops dominate. Goes down smooth. Not sure if this fits the style, as this is my first English PA but a solid beer nonetheless. Serving type: bottle 07-16-2010

500ml bottle. Pours a bit water/pale with white head and little lacing. Aroma is sweet, of hops and dough. Tastes very fresh, slightly cotton wool-like but very good. Bread and green veg come through

[4848-20121007] 500mL bottle. Light grainy malt aroma. Slightly hazy, light brown orange body with a quick foamy white head. Lightly soured toasted malt flavour. Medium body. Quite tasty but has a bit of a twang. (6/3/7/3/14) 3.3

Bottle. Floral honey and malt aroma. Golden yellow with minimal head. Sweet honey barley malt flavor with lightly bitter herbal hops finish. Pretty good.

Full pint poured from cask at The Blackfriar pub, shared with Finn. Low, lacing-head. Next to clear dark golden body. Peaches and earthy malts to the nose. Flavoured with juicy malts. Refreshing dry bitter ending. A fine interpretation of a British bitter (London, 06.11.2012).

On cask @ the Haymarket. Pours pale, hazy and with a nice head. The nose is grassy and citrussy with just a little bit of pale malt backbone to balance. Much the same on the taste. The palate is light in body, zingy in texture and with a clean refreshing finish. Overall, yes I like this!

Bottle conditioned at 5%.Golden colour with medium head. Aroma of lemons and malt. Taste is of citrus fruits, especially lemon and sweet malts with a streak of bitterness running through. Quite crisp on the palate. A good golden ale.
