This honey golden ale has a thin, white head and a soft and seductive nose of malty barley, caramel and the slightest touch of hops. The palate is light and fresh with notes of caramel, lightly toasted grains and a light dose of citrusy hops on the finish, which leave the palate feeling cleansed.

Aroma has malt and cake dough. Golden color with a hint of copper. A bit sweetish, but with a firm hopbitterness and some malt. Hint of orange fruit. Well balanced, a bit nutty ale.

Bottled, Pasteurised. Orange golden beer with thin to no head. Smooth toffee malt flavour quickly gives over to juicy fruit hops, some apricot and peach notes. Nicely balanced warm brew, just right for an evening in.

Bottled.Light golden brown body with a fine white head, dissipating quickly. Malt and chocolate aroma, low bitterness, consequently lack backbone and structure, resultant experience is that of lolly water.

Dark straw body, mild carbonation, and flat head. Aroma of corn syrup, caramel malt, and some peaches. This is a sweet beer with flavors of malt and honey and very low bitterness. Palate is like mixed juice and soda. Very organic and much like a mediocre homebrew.

Bottle. Looks thin as the clear golden liquid forms an off white head that quickly diminishes. Bread dough with only a hint of floral hops. Light maltiness overtaken by near sugar cane sweetness. Finish has a light green tea and toast flavor. Too sweet in the middle for me.

I had the Co-op version. Pale gold in colour, while the aromas are grapefruit and grain. This is a sweet and malty beer with a biscuit dry finish. A touch of citrus, too. Its a bit thin and the soda water flavour and chalky dryness lets it down.

Nice, mild English Ale. I added a few points because of the organic barley & hops...
