maeib (4012), Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, England Mar 30, 2008 Cask conditioned - handpump - Fish Inn Northampton. A golden coloured beer with a whitish head. The aroma is on the sweet side with notes of melon and pineapple. Melon sweetness in the taste which becomes a tad cloying. An unwelcoming beer which has some nice enough bits but is mostly below average. harrisoni (5359), Ashford, Kent, England Feb 28, 2008 Cask handpull at The Guildhall, Folkestone. Simply a good bitter. Top condition, perfect temperature, served well. Hoppy. Good malt biiscuit base. Everything a bitter should be and it completely shocked me to have such a tasty simple bitter. evilsoc (169), Wales Feb 21, 2008 Orangey golden. some fresh tobacco in the nose. Caramel toffee slight sweetness. Not a huge bitter bite but not bad. berkshire_john (1106), Bracknell, Berkshire, England Mar 20, 2007 Cask conditioned at The Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell. Gold in colour with a minimal white head; hoppy citrus aroma; sour grapefruit flavour, very refreshing; leading to a dry, bitter finish. Excellent - more of a Golden Ale style than a Bitter. GarethYoung (1108), Glasgow, Scotland Feb 7, 2007 [Cask from Blackfriars] Aroma of caramel, pears, berry fruit, sweaty socks, some citric notes. Medium body, fruit on the palate, dry finish. I wish it didn’t smell of socks.
