Fresh malty aroma, excellent smokey and malty taste. Smokey finish.

Sep 21, 2007 Cask (gravity dispense) at Reading Beer Festival, April 2006. More amber than gold. Dryish with a decent ration of citric hop. Clean and easy drinking, with a fairly light body. If its aiming to be a golden ale it could do with being a little more aromatic. Alternatively, as a strong bitter, maybe its a touch low on impact. Perfectly pleasant though.

Sep 19, 2007 Cask, Far From The Madding Crowd. Warm copper, small layer of white. A low volume aroma, but what’s there makes me think of rust and dry leather, a touch of minty hops. A sip: light bodied and refreshing, menthol flavor with a certain metallic undertone. Pleasantly crisp. Off-putting aroma detracts from an otherwise fairly solid pint.

Jun 14, 2007 Cask at Wetherspoons, Milton Keynes. A bit chilly. Slightly hazy golden brown with a white head. Sweet fruity aroma, followed by a massively fruity taste - blackcurrants, I thought. Decent bitter finish. When it warmed this was a thoroughly good pint.

May 9, 2007 A mid to dark, amber orange coloured beer with a thickish white head. A light malty nose, with a slightly sour fruit aroma. A full bodied mouthfeel, rich, slightly spicy malt taste, then a sour fruity flavour that gives the finish a slightly citrusy, pineapple, yet smooth, taste. (Cask - The Fox & Hounds, Heacham, Norfolk).
