[Cask at GBBF] Clear golden. Freshly citric hoppy nose. Medium sweet. Soft and light, somewhat perfumy. Gentle and hoppy with refreshing witbier qualities. Lingering aromatic, bitter finish. An excellent golden ale well worth it’s consecutive titles at GBBF.

Cask conditioned at GBBF Sat 5th August 2006. After having to queue for this I was impressed. Poured a golden colour, with a fruity aroma, initially I got a real citric burst on first taste. This beer had a nice bitterness and tasted really fresh and hoppy. Really enjoyed this but compared with Loz’s (my partner) Pictish Alchemist, I would still go for the latter.

[cask at GBBF 06] Aroma of sweet fruits, ’tropical’ i suppose, some citric notes also. light body, dry finish where a little bready malt comes through. A fine session beer.

Cask (Queens Head, Chelmsford). Golden coloured eith a creamy, lacing head; strong, very aromatic hoppy (hop resins also)nose, mixed with a citrousy fruitiness; robust dry bitter flavour, smooth and light bodied; long, lingering dry hoppy finish with a citrousy fruitiness again, giving way an even hoppier aftertaste. WOW ! Extremely well drinkable, rounded, literally golden ale ! A great pleasure.....................

Cask@Lincoln Beer Festival 2006. Golden beer with a very dry fruity aroma. The flavour is smooth and light with a slightly watery floralness. Overall a nice golden beer.

(Cask at Wenlock Arms, London 20 Apr 2006) Golden yellow colour, with little head. Fruity nose with lots of hop character, sweetish aroma of citrus, mainly grapefruit and lemon (actually rather reminiscent of those yellow odour refreshers you find in toilets). Very fruity taste with loads of lemon, lime and mango (slightly artificial) and an long bitter finish. Rather one dimensional but very nice hoppy character.
