Bottle-conditioned, 50cl, from Westholme Stores, Goring. Gold with a loose white head that fades quickly, slightly hazy from disturbed sediment. Sweet citrus aroma; fresh hoopy flavour with more citrus and a dry finish. Very drinkable.

Cask-conditioned at the Bag ONails, Bristol 22/04/09. Slightly hazy gold in colour, with a moderate white head. Sweetish aroma of caramel with some orange and grapefruit. Big hoppy flavour, with plenty of citrus fruit and a long dry finish. A pleasant alternative after several malty bitters.

[Cask at Nag’s Head] Rather a dull gold colour, no head, no carbonation. Tastes of soapy hay. Very bitter aftertaste. Not great.

Cask conditioned - gravity dispense - Merton Winter BF. An old gold coloured beer. The aroma has ornagey hops and hints of sweetness and bitterness. The taste is hoppy but perhaps a little too dry. Decent enough.

Gravity, Merton Winter Beer Festival. Copper orange, bit of white head. Tangerine and grape aroma. Mushy tangerine and melon, leafy finish. A full-flavored beer, but a little flabby.

Cask, gravity at Merton Winter Beer Festival Feb 08 Nice warm golden colour with white slim head, honey aroma. Tastes sweet, honey coming through again, nice session beer, some fruitiness, Loz didn’t like this and thought my rating was rubbish!.

Cask conditioned at Merton Winter Beer Festival ’08. Gold with white head. Quite a decent hoppy session beer on a light biscuity base. Some fruitiness, soft and fleshy notes and a sharp hoppy bitterness to finish. A beer I would like to try again. Rerate 26/04 in The Woolpack, Banbury. A much sharper, hoppier version, crisp and refreshing.
