Clean golden colour with nice white to off white head. Aroma is malt and hop not too strong but there. Flavour is mellow and grainy. Nothing to fantastic but it is definitely something that you could sit down with and enjoy as a great tasting beer that you don’t have to think about.

nice golden pour, aroma is english hops, and some sweet malt. The hops are quite subdued for what i like in a bitter, to me they should be more pronounced. Flavour is slightly hoppy, and quite grassy. Overall a pretty dumbed doown bitter, not bad, but not great.

Very grassy aroma and a lovely golden colour. Not all that bitter, but a nice mix of hops and malt. A touch sweet, but not overpowering. Very easy to drink.

50cl bottle, Toronto. Gold colour, some hoppy aroma, mildly carbonated with a grassy flavor and aftertaste. Very easy drinking but nothing exceptional.

500 mL bottle. (bb 31/12/08). Lovely copper-orange colour. A nice foamy head gradually recedes to a thick film. A mild aroma of citrus and fresh hay. Not a lot to the taste. Some nice British hops, but almost no malt character!?! Medium to low carbonation and body. Disappointing.

500ml bottle decants a shimmering orange-amber ale with a small rocky cap. Modest lacing. Bready-sweet aroma with a wisp of grass and a rusted iron tone. The wonderful malty smell is more pronounced in the aroma than taste. The breadiness is there but thinner, thin plate, lightly bitter (mostly long boil Goldings) no fruity esters to speak of, fast clean lightly bitter finish. Mild, understated, approachable, good drinkability and a very clean tasting bitter but uninspired. Good for sessioning.

Bitter, orange-golden colour, small head, mid-low carbonation. A bit sweet but balanced with bitter hop aroma. Citrus notes with a hints of banana. Smooth, little watery. Not very pleasant aftertaste after drinking a whole bottle.
