May 20, 2008 500ml bottle. Golden coloured body with a slight haze. Just a single patch on the surface. Mild smoky malts in aroma with hints of fruits. Citrus fruit in flavour added by spices. Low bitterness. Easy going drink (Swan Hotel, Maldon 05.05.2008).

May 19, 2008 Bottle 0,5l. Unclear. A shortlived soapy head. Weak aroma of sourish fruit. A bit too carbonated. Undeterminable flavor but there is some fruity malt. Modest fruity finish. Not the best from the brewery.

Feb 10, 2007 Updated: Feb 10, 2009Served in the Blue Boar Maldon (I suppose its the brewery tap!)
Direct fom the cask by tap.
I have re rated this beer originally I gave it a 3.4 BUT in the last few months it has lost its grapefruit finish only to be replaced with a strange bitter/acidity.
The appearance has changed too, its not a clear gold, but cloudy now

Dec 17, 2006 Cask (gravity dispense) at London Drinker Beer Festival (Friday session), March 2006. Straw colour. Not the most zesty or assertive of golden ales but there are touches of citrus in the mix. But there’s also a more robust, rustic, traditional UK hop presence as well. Generally quite subtle and easy-drinking, with modest bitterness. A very pleasant, well-tempered beer.

Jul 24, 2006 A hazy straw yellow coloured beer with a weak head. A light smokey hop nose, with a little touch of malt. The taste is dry, malty and very smokey, like a Scottish Islands malt whisky! the finish id dry and smokey. (Cask - @ The Fox & Hounds Summer Beer Festival 2006, Heacham, Norfolk.).

Jul 19, 2006 Cask@Chelmsford Beer festival. Quite an earthy golden ale, with some sweet palae malt characters and a light hint of citric hops in the finish. Easy drinking, but a little boring.
