Jun 29, 2004 Cask Conditioned, Royal Standard, Wooburn Common (Gravity Dispense). A decent light summer ale, with some sweet malt and a little hops. Better than the average score would suggest.

Jun 28, 2004 Catford Beer fest. Gravity. Glowing amber best bitter. Nutty fruitiness up front, a touch of toffee in the middle, and a gentle flowery hop finish. A nicely balanced and clean beer, though there are murky edges. Slight toffee in the aroma. A pleasant start to the fest while waiting for the boys to arrive.

Jun 23, 2004 Updated: Aug 8, 2004I was rather surprised that I hadn’t rated this one before, and nor had Silk Tork, so here goes. The usual gold colour for a summer ale. The second surprise, and a not altogether welcome one, was the distinct initial whiff of sulphur on the nose. Once that had dissipated, some soft hoppy freshness came through, but not very strongly. The palate was cleanish, and hoppy, with a touch of malt too, but mainly soft, as was the finish. For my money, this is a bit heavy on malt and light on crispness for a quaffer. Not one of the better summer ales on this showing, but perfectly pleasant and dependable. Cask (gravity), Catford Beer Festival.

Feb 25, 2004 Very fresh and great hops balance with green hay aroma. This one will teach a few people how to make a good brew.

Nov 14, 2003 Tried at a CAMRA beer festival in Sept. A summer beer really but really refreshing and light and would be a joy to drink all year round.

Jul 5, 2003 Cask conditioned. Light golden beer with lacy head. Fragrantly hoppy and creamy but not much depth to the flavour. Highly rinkable but there are better summer beers
