| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Sep 22, 2009 Cask at the Royal Blenheim, Oxford, 21-09-09 at CAMRA Oxford Beer Festival planning mtg. Pours gold once again much like the Batemans beforehand this had very good clarity a nice white head, and also in spiffingly good condition in. There isn’t the hops that I expected but they do show on the nose albeit in a rather restrained manner, touch floral also. Taste is refreshing and lightly fruity, there is a slight hoppy bite and an intial zippiness that starts to fade after a while, that said I rather enjoyed this and were I not driving I think that I would have been happy to have had another.

Well I didn’t notice any hardly at all. I expecting a glass full of fresh hop and I got a yeasty apple bitter. Yeast character and apple fruit with minimal hop. Disappointing bitter, but the yeast character I thougth was ok. imdownthepub (5139), Banbury, Oxfordshire, England
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Aug 1, 2009 Cask conditioned at a Wetherspoons. Gold with white head. Initially a peppery, sharp hoppy beer, but then a sweetish, caramel malty flavour takes over. Easy and light on the palate, the hop manages to linger around in the close making it fairly decent. berkshirejohn (1808), Bracknell, Berkshire, England
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jul 14, 2009 Cask at the Briar Rose (JDW), Birmingham. Amber with a thin ring of white head; hoppy aroma; light sweet malt flavours with a hint of citrus, rather thinnly bodied; clean, light, bitter finish. A rather boring attempt at a golden ale.
