On tap at the incredible Porch House in Stow-on-the-Wold. Wood beams carbon dated to 10th century. Unfortunately this haylike beer seems the same.

Setting: I just finished a surf and it's a stunning summers evening at home. I was thirsty and needed something cold/fresh and this beer delivered. Zesty, fruity (citrus?), smooth (not carbonated), easy drinking. Went down extremely well and complimented the lovely summers evening. Nice easy drinking summer beer and a 4.5 based on this. The label must have been updated as it's different from the one displayed here.

Pours clear gold in color with half inch head. Taste is Earl Grey tea, English malt, and honney. Light bodied, moderate carbonation and bitter. Makes for an above average English pale ale.

Gold honey. 10mm head. Cloudy. Smell some mint. Not to hoppy and bitter. Dry taste.

Looks beautiful when poured, nice thick head. It has a pleasant hoppy smell. The feel is decent, relatively thick with medium carbonation. The taste I wasn't too keen on. I found after a few sips the hoppiness overpowers it leaving a strong bitter -a little- unpleasant taste in my mouth.
It's a shame, I guess the saying 'don't judge a book by its cover' really applies here.
