Bottle. Pours a dark orange colour with no head, light fruity aroma, the taste is bitter with malt with a dry finish.

Bottle from my Dad for Christmas. Headless, amber ale with a mild, sweetish, ginger and apple hops aroma. Tangy bitter taste, hoppy, dry but balanced enough to make this very drinkable. Lacking much finish - perhaps too abrupt. Good for lunchtime.

Sample at ÖÖWF 2012. Crisp and fresh smell with a light aroma of pale bread. Similar taste. Easy to drink.

Sample @ SBWF. Very strange golden ale. Notes of paper, vegtables and light malts. Watery. Boring.

Bottle at SBWF. Pours very pale yellow. Sweet wheat taste, bit thin and bitter like a low abv lager.

Cask-conditioned at the Three Tuns, Bristol. Golden with a slight white head. Sweetish apricot and tangerine aroma with some leafy hop. Flavours of caramel, more fruit and a relatively bitter finish. Ok.

Clear 500ml bottle best before April 2013: poured into a UK pint sleeve on 11th June 2012. As the name suggests, this is a golden/amber coloured beer, the head I produced was full at first but the off-white bubbles soon became a wisp and collar. The nose and taste were a well balanced mix of hops and malts: nothing strong or overpowering, just a pleasant flavour and feel to the brew. Easy to drink, semi-sweet mouthfeel with only a mild bitterness: alcohol content that is well hidden and the 4.5% suits it nicely.

Bottle. Hoppy, Southern bitter, GK IPA, crystal malt, spice. Gold body. Thin white head, zero retention. Bitter. Dry finish.

Cask (handpump) @ CASK Pub & Kitchen, 6 Charlwood Street, London, Greater London, England SW1V 2EE.
