Tasting notes from 2003 Banbury beer festival. An excellent golden ale and what a treat. Golden, clear with white head. Citrus, caramel, and fresh floral aroma notes. Citrus (Grapefruit) and balancing caramel notes. Refreshing bitter finish that invites you to continue the session.

Cask at The Pride of Spitalfields. Light stone fruit aroma. Darker gold color with a white head. Medium body with mild carbonation. Flavor is like peach with citrus over pale malt. Touch of bitter. Fruit varies from time to time. Finishes softly bitter without wholly losing fruit notes.

Cask @ The Wenlock Arms, London.
Pours handsomely golden with a small, frothy white film head on top. Aroma is softly hoppy with fruitiness and an underlying crispness to it. Fine carbonation, just perfect for the style. Flavour is elegantly composed, rather dry, fine hoppiness and that underlying crispness again. Very good for a 4 % ABV.

Cask, The Tap, Peterborough. Musty hop snout with tinned mandarin. Smooth and efficient. Sparkling gold thinly lidded with white. Grapefruit and orange with vanilla sweet malty afters.Tasty but a bit wishy-washy, and can’t really hold its own against the more spikily hopped local brews. Pretty bog standard citrussy golden ale. Good, but overrated.

Cask at the Three-Legged Mare, York. One of best beers around. Lovely aromas of lemon and malt but flavours are outstanding in this beer. I love how the spice and lemon get you at the beginning but the taste is finished off nicely with a complimenting bitterness. A complex, though well-balanced pint, it’s definitely worth seeking out and at 4.0%, it’s the perfect session beer.
