Commercial Description:
Cask; Seasonal - May to August.
A crisp refreshing blonde ale. Rounded pale malt flavours in the mouth are balanced by a subtle bitterness which leads to a dry finish with a delicate floral hop aroma.

Cask at Merton Beer Festival July 7th, 8th 2006. Poured golden and like Glenn say’s it was very lively with a large white frothy head. Nice aroma of hops led to a wonderfully citrusy refreshing slightly dry beer. This is another brewery who seem to make some super beers and whilst I prefer their Alchemist this was certainly another super beer.

Cask conditioned at Merton Summer Beer Fest 06. Golden beer with volcanic white head. This was a fresh one, the beer exploded from the cask as if it was in a hurry to show you what it was made of. It certainly is a particularly accomplished Golden Ale, light fruity with a chewey late bitterness. Citrusy with a little hop oiliness, very good.

Pale, hoppy, citrussy brew full of flavour and body with a very refreshing tangy lemony finish. Great to drink and full of interest and character. (Cask @ Beer House, Manchester)
