Aug 22, 2008 Bottle.Salisbury’s certainly got it right when they put this on their shelves.Clear orange appearance with citrus flavours hitting your mouth as soon as you take your first sip.
Hops area also there and a gentle bitterness soon comes to the front of the mouth feel. Very pleasant and refreshing.

Aug 9, 2008 bottle- pours golden clear, offwhite grey head big and frothy, lots of lacing. nose is juicy hops, flower, honey, grapefruit rind, but only slight. and some lovely malt character as well. mouthfeel is really sticky. taste is initially quite dry, but then escelates into a fair amount of bitterness. well balanced. definitely one of the better ones ive had from williams bros, it aint no 7 giraffes, but its really good.

Jun 10, 2009 Bottle from Tanakaya. Pours a clear golden bright yellow with a sudsy foamy head. Very nice bready smell with some floury scents and slight biscuit notes. Taste is crisp, clean and smooth...as I was enjoying this first sip, thinking "Ok, it’s a smooth lager...drinkable, blah blah blah..." then the finish crept up on me with a sweet cotton candy-esque softness of flavours: honeysuckle, blueberry, pancake, caramel, slight hops, nice carbonation. I loved this and am surprised to find the overall rating kinda low. I predict that I will be drinking tons of this stuff this summer. A new favorite.

Sep 8, 2009 Bottled. A pretty light gold coloured beer with a minimal head. The aroma is zesty hoppy; there are good orange notes and various other citrus notes. The taste is hoppy and herbal. There are floral notes but also a bit of odd paper. Good although not perfect.

Sep 3, 2008 Bottle from Sainsbury. Deep gold, thin beige head. Some sherbert hop on aroma. A rather lovely hop profile on this. It’s a very light, entertaining pale ale, with a nod towards lager. Refreshing easy drinking. Good Times? Yeah, ok, it put a smile on my face, or was that Armando Ionucci on the radio? No great finish, touch of hop. Holds up well throughout.

Sep 25, 2008 Gold with a white head. Aroma is full of honey. Citric tang and yes, that definitely is elderflower in the taste. Nice hoppy finish. Perhaps I was in a good mood being the Ratebeer DD today, 25th September, 2008, but I really enjoyed this golden after some poor ones earlier in the week.
