3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20Tasted this in the Last Post, Paisley (JDW) in June 2009. Cask, handpump dispense. Clear golden in colour with a thin white head. Strong aromatic herbs, grass and floral notes in the long aroma. Thin resiny mouthfeel and good lacing. Pale malt gives a digestive biscuit base with juicy fruit notes of pink grapefruit and tart gooseberries. Strong prickle of hop resins gives a dry but pleasant bitter aftertaste. Finish is aromatic with bitter hop resins to the fore but not too cloying with it. A decent session Golden Ale and well recommended.

[3228-20100801] Cask. Mild leafy hops aroma is oddly sweaty. Clear, pale orange body with a long-lasting thick creamy white head and thick lacing. Fragrant yeasty leaf hops flavour. Medium body. Quite drinkable once you get past the odd aroma.

2010-08-01. Crisp golden body with a small creamy beige head and lace. Mild flavour, modest bitterness throughout, very mild citrusy hop notes. Soft malty undercurrents. Lemony hop character comes out more as it warms up. 6+ Mild aroma, lemon zest, light yeast touch and a whisper of a sweaty note. 6+ Smooth average to light palate seems to suit the beer, though I would prefer it a bit more full bodied myself. Very nice sessionable bitter. Cask at Market Porter, London
