500 mL bottle. Pours clear golden straw colour with quickly dissipating head. Aroma is a bit skunky at first, light yeast and hops as well. Flavour is pretty basic, medium bitterness with the yeasty taste coming through. Palate is clean. Overall nothing special, and the skunkiness/yeastiness were definitely a put-off - could have been a bad bottle though.

Dec 5, 2009 Cask at the Sultan, London SW19 on 4th December 2009. Gold with very little head. Citric and grassy hop rounded by a pleasant not oversweet malt aroma and a satisfying dry finish on a smooth to light mouthfeel. A very flavoursome, very balanced premium ale, easy to drink for its strength.

Nov 21, 2009 500ml bottle.
Pale gold body, bit of hazy, small creamy white head.
Light aroma; pale malts, cereals, grassy hops, bit of minerally bread quality.
Lean body, decent carbonation, bit of husky dryness adds a somewhat refreshing element to it.
Hops come through on the body; lemony, grassy, spicy, decent citric bitter note, some subtle pale malt flavours in the background but nothing prominant. Finish is dry.
Refreshing English golden ale, could probably drink quite a few of these.

Oct 3, 2009 500 ml bottle from LCBO. Pours a cloudy yellow-gold with moderate white head. Bready nose with a slight, flowery sweetness. Taste of bread and almost a touch of honey. Light floral hops also present giving a light bitterness in finish. Solid but unspectacular.
