Is this really based on muesli? A light golden coloured bitter. And it is bitter. Quite flowery, no doubt due to the American hops, but I didn't detect much in the way of maltiness, or the claimed "full body". What I did find was a rather austere beer, that some might not find to their taste. I , however, like that style and I like this beer. Quite bitter and uncompromisingly dry on the palate and very dry on the finish. A good quaffing session beer. Not sure about the breakfast beer tag though. Handpump, The Bowling Green, Otley, September 2002. Don't miss this pub by the way.

Apr 21, 2008 Cask, ’The Joy of Six’ Merchantfest ’08, Rugby. Thin, pale and haloed with white froth. Wishy-washy lemony/peachy/Fairy Liquid hop melting into buttery cornflake. Did I mention the soap? Can do better.

Mar 13, 2008 On gravity at the London Drinker festival 12/3/08. Golden coloured with a slight white head. Aroma of grapefruit and sweet malt. Flavour of creamy sweet corn with a muted, citrus hop, dry finish. This was the least pleasant of the five golden ales sample at the festival - by a wide margin.

Mar 2, 2008 Gravity cask at the Battersea Beer Festival, 7th Feb 2008. Pure gold, with a light, fluffy aroma of citrus and pineapple. The citrus theme continues in the flavour, with grapefruit coming through. The palate is soft and this is exceedingly drinkable stuff!
