Bottle, thansk to chris_o. Golden ale with low carboantion. Fruity aroma, smooth beer with some apricots and a hint of sourness in the finish. Full body.

Cask at the Elmdon Dial, Elmdon, Essex. Saffron only began brewing in April 2006. This, their Golden Ale, has good colour and a white head. In other respects it’s not up to standard, with little aroma, taste or bitterness. Limp and watery, I’m afraid.
