Draught (GBBF 2006): Sweet, balanced and suprisingly fruity. Very similar to an english golden ale, however with cleaner lager malt notes. Refreshing.

On tap at GBBF, August 2006. Day 1, beer #9. Blonde, clean and quite light. Touches of herbal hops and lemony citrus. Not particularly assertive. Very similar to an English golden summer ale. Pleasant enough but rather middle of the road. Obviously not sold only at the brewery. ABV given as 5.0% in the programme.

Pretty simple and uninteresting. Crisp and easy to drink. Slightly more fruity than a pilsner or something.

draft sample. i thought this pretty much lacked flavor. not bad for a light bodied summer. a bit fruity/hoppy aroma.

On tap at Hop Devil. Light gold with a small but lasting white head. Aroma is on the sweet side with grains and sweet hops. The malts are the best part of the beer as the really subtle hops are mostly hidden. Worth a pint.

Draft. Golden beer with white head. Some grassy, spicey aroma. Grainy flavor and light grassiness. Blah
