Bottle Conditioned. Very lively. Amber with a large white head. Extremely tasty with a nice balance between bitterness, hops & malt. Much like an IPA with perhaps a little more sweetness than usual. Overall a most drinkable ale.

Hand pulled at 12 Bells in Cirencester, UK. Poured light brown with some reddish notes. Small fizzy head. Light hop and malt aroma. Mildly sweet. Decent.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Hand pulled at the Wellington, Birmingham. Quite good trong Bitter/Golden. Stronger alc flavour hits at the end, and is a little cloying and catches the throat. Pretty good balance and flavour, but too sweet, and I do worry about these beers that think they have to betoo strong. After all it takes more skill to get good balance and flavour in a smaller percentage scale. OK.
