I sampled this at the Ship and Shovel at Charing Cross (the larger bar). A decent goldenish ale. Fairly hoppy and a little sweet, if a touch bland - very quaffable though. Came in a strange, slightly gay, continental style glass.

Jun 10, 2009 Clear yellow coloured with a small white head. Aroma of malts, brewmash and grain. Sweet flavour of malts and brewmash with notes of hops. Hoppy finish. Boring.

Mar 5, 2009 (Cask at the Ship and Shovel, London) For some reason I seem to be drinking a lot of golden ales these days, despite them being usually unextraordinary. This was murky golden, but with a perfect white head. Smell was pretty good - malty for a golden ale, elements of biscuits and and good orange hop character. Mouthfeel was smooth though - I prefer golden ales to have a bit of bite, smoothness for darker ales. Taste was initially malty biscuit soon giving way to citrus hops, in a bittersweet combination that was quite pleasant. Refreshing, as these ales tend to be, and perfectly nice. Not the best example of the style I’ve had though.

Jul 12, 2008 Handpulled cask at JDW Watford during recent international beer fest. Dark gold with a thick creamy off-white head. A warming malt aroma. A grainy malt flavour that becomes a richer caramel through the swallow. Quite a hoppy finish, giving it a drying character. A complex beer and quite enjoyable.

Apr 26, 2008 Cask, The Highcross, Leicester. Golden with a white foam. Aromas are dry biscuit and mellow lemon with apricot and hints of sulphur. Flavours are dry and yeasty with lemon. Spicy and peppery hops with some floral notes. Lacks depth but refreshing. Quite thick on the palate.
