Cask conditioned at Coventry Beer Festival. Gold colour with slight head. Another beer set up with a light crisp base to deliver big hoppy flavours and aromas, I like them, I do, and this is one of the better ones. Plenty of refreshing grassy hops, there is a resinous character and a definite alcohol kick which caught me out as the programme said 4.0%. Enjoyable.

[cask at the Baillie, St Stephen Street, Edinburgh] Probably the pick of the Stewart beers, a fantastic hoppy golden ale on cask, and pretty good in the bottle. As the name implies it pours a mellow golden colour with a decent head (thanks to the sparkler). Lovely aromas of grapefruit and other citrus from the Tettnang hops. On the palate, hoppy and fruity, with a rising bitterness that leads into a very nice dry finish. Rivals Cairngorm Trade Winds in the Scottish Session Stakes, although loses out overall [10022008]

From bottle. Bright, clear golden colour with plenty of bubbles providing a good head that lasts. Sweet fruity aroma with caramel notes. Excellent flavour sweet and citrusy to begin with leading to a tasty bitterness that is satisfying. Overall an interesting ale that punched well above it’s weight for me.

Another winner from this brewery, that wetherspoons have recently hooked up with. Citrus hops with soem honey notes dominate aroma. The taste is similar and very balanced, seriously easy drinking stuff!

Cask (gravity dispense) at GBBF, day 4 on 4 August 2006. Attractive bronze / copper / ginger colour - not exactly gold. Very fruity but not without grip on the palate. Quite pleasant.
