And another beer I would have swore I've had. Almost clear gold beer, with a small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light smooth palate, very mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light smooth pale malts, traces of malt cream and grain. The hoppage is smooth pine into juicy citrus with a pleasing bright edge. Some hay notes on the back end. Really like the hop edge on this one, for the style I mean, really enlivens this one into a very good potential sessioner.

UPDATED: NOV 27, 2023 Cask (made by/in Thornbridge). Clear golden color. Malty, sweet, grainy in aroma/taste. Quite simple and watery.

UPDATED: NOV 14, 2023 [May 2022] Legendary beer, sampled before its retirement - clear and golden with a frothy white head and a floral, hoppy aroma. Taste is biscuits and hops, less of the latter, but still a decent pale ale with hints of fruit and a dry finish

UPDATED: NOV 11, 2023 Cask at Black Door, Helsinki. Color is slightly cloudy orange with small white head. Aromas and flavors: Floral elements, hops and malts.

UPDATED: OCT 20, 2023 Cask @ Kitty's, Helsinki. Poured light golden in color, small white head. Floral and citrusy with a a small bite, dryness in finish. Drinkable for sure, went down quckly.

UPDATED: OCT 13, 2023 Cask at Hops, Crewe (4/10/23). This is the version produced by Thornbridge, but I have also drunk the original Kelham Island version, though I don’t seem to have rated it. Pours a golden yellow with as mall white head and good lacing. The aroma has malts and citrus plus some hoppy hints. In the mouth it is sweet with floral hops, oranges, grains and low carbonation. Later on some sharpness creeps in too. This is entirely reasonable – nice and refreshing.

UPDATED: JUN 21, 2023 Rocky white head on an unclear pale golden coloured body. Malt, grain & fruity aroma. Medium bodied, smooth with with a sharp dry back. Bitter citrus, lemon, cereal & floral tastes with a hoppy finish. Nice drinker.

UPDATED: JUN 13, 2023 On cask at the taproom on 01-Jun-2023. Slightly hazy yellowish pale amber ale with a small white head. Aroma of cereal, citrus and pine. Medium body and carbonation. Taste of barley, caramel, orange, lemonpeel, and hops. Medium bitterness. Fruity finish. Easy and refreshing.

UPDATED: MAY 16, 2023 Cracking drink. Nice hoppy aroma. Creamy mouthfeel. Citrus fruit taste with a nice maltiness thrown in. Subtle bitterness to finish. Enjoyable drink. Smooth and easy drinking session ale even at the abv
