[Cask conditioned] Golden brown coloured. Very boring and weak. Sweet with some hops in the finish. Strange unpleasant notes.

Cask Conditioned at The White Horse, Whitwell, I.o.W. Yellow gold beer with thin head. Sweetish buttery smooth beer with a peachy fruitiness. Few hop notes.

Pale brown. Gale's beers often have a reputation for malty sweetness, even in the bitters, but this one despite having some malt, is much fresher than the Gales norm. A little sweetness at the start, quite fruity, but hops dominate here. Dry finish. Although the Gales website suggest this beer is designed to be served through a sprinkler, with a big head, the CAMRA tasting notes suggest otherwise. The version I tried was handpumped, but not through a sprinkler. Quite well balanced and very drinkable, but nothing exceptional. The Speaker, London SW1, July 2003

A yellow beer with no head and no aroma. The flavor is slightly sweet and slightly bitter which leaves a very good balanced beer. A nice bitter.

Stewed hops in the bottle. Some malt lazily struggles to overcome the damp cardboard of this dead and dead useless beer.

Cask-Conditioned. Honey-coloured. Hoppy bitterness prevails over all else.
