Bottle that I picked up at Budgens, Peterborough, Cambs, 22-01-09 Pours straw coloured with big white head, I don’t know why but for some reason I was expecting that this was a dark beer but I just randomly picked it off the shelf so had no idea. Hoppy aroma, citrus also detected. Taste is quite clean, fruity, refreshing, quite tangy and decent. A7 A4 F7 P3 OV14 3.5

Cask at the Eastbourne Beer Festival, 9th Oct 2008. Yellow with a foamy head. Almost burnt aroma, with lots of floral notes. Great fruity and nutty flavours in the mouth and a good finish. A strong golden ale from a strong brewery.

Gravity at Swindon Beerex08. Poured yellow blonde. Deep, metallic, puckering, tea like hops with grassiness. Fairly one dimensional but satisfyingly bitter.

cask @ The Eagle (London - Old Street) First off, how unfair is it that THIS PLACE (essentially a wine bar now) has Sierra Nevada Pale Ale on tap and I can’t buy it in Ontario?!! Anyway. Slightly hazy light gold pour with an average creamy white head (normally a 3/5, but first pint of the day ...). Soft aroma of dried roses, slightly acidic, with a light cereal classic "golden ale" aroma. The taste follows, very soft, no alcohol presence at all, a good balance between soft light cereal malt and light floral bitterness. Soft, wheaty body, with mild floral astringency, leaves a dry finish on the tongue. Another excellent, if understated golden.

Cask at GBBF08. OK fruity aroma. Almost clear shiny yellow colour. Very nice fruitiness in the flavour, flowery and slightly sweet. Refreshing and nice.

Cask at The Fleur De Lis, Sandwich: Light grassy yellow. Very hoppy and light pale ale. Really refreshing and easy to drink. Top notch pale ale.

A lovely pale yellow beer with a nice crisp white head and a nose of sharp grapefruit and lemon turning to summery fruit in the mouth with an almost piney minty hop finish. Refreshing!

Cask at the Smithfield, Derby. Straw with a dense white head; fresh floral aroma; taste has herbal hops and powdered ginger, giving a long, warming, ginger finish. Very pleasant.
