Poured a golden yellow with big bubbles of foam in the large head.
Good lacing and the head dissipated to a thin layer.
Aroma is somewhat floral and maybe a bit malty. Not much there.
Taste is pleasant but doesn’t really impress.
Its more like drinking a lager that has a bit more taste to it.
Good carbonation and mouthfeel.
Overall, nice but underwhelming ale.

Bottled and sadly not bottle conditioned but purchased in the local cooperative store
Pours a clear golden body with nice white head
Aroma is golden syrup and peppery yeast
Flavour is a freshly baked but cooled scone and a muted bitter finish

L- Bright gold, pours clear with 3mm white fine-bubble head. (ps 10mins later, holds well, forms lacing too). Filtered, zero sediment in pour or left in bottle.
S- Very grainy with some hoppy bitterness coming through.
T- Follows the smell closely, grainy into hoppy bitterness at the finish.
F- Certainly on the dryer side of neutral. I was expecting this to come over as thin/light due to it's modest 3.8%, but in fact it tastes fuller than expected.
O- It's very drinkable, very sessionable. It's not bringing fireworks or drama but I can imagine this being the 'usual' go-to for folks who prefer trad-style reliability than contemporary faddish drama. I started out thinking this might do little for me, it was bought as a gift, but in fact it reminds me how the stars can really align with an uncomplicated trad beer.

Brown 500ml bottle, the beer is bottle conditioned and the sediment could be clearly seen through the bottle, sat at the base looking up. Best before the end of Jan 2010, drank on warm sunny evening in April 2009.
Poured into a vase shaped pint glass (Old Speckled Hen). The label claims it is OK for Veggies and Vegans, so no fishy or meaty bits in this beer then!
Some of the yeast sediment moved and tried to join the beer in my glass, but I poured carefully and very little got out.
The body is a bright golden yellow, almost lagerlike. A small white wispy head sat on top. The beer was very light for a traditional English Bitter, but more and more brewers are producing these golden brews nowadays.
Floral aroma with citrus hints to the fore, couldn't detect any hops, yeast or malts.
The taste was a bit boring, no bite or strength
of flavours. Just a bog standard bitter, a little flat to be honest. Wheat and barley used in the brew, no suggestion of them in the taste for me.
A big disappointment for me, I hate decrying a small brewer, but this didn't do it for me at all. I have a few more bottles from this brewery, I hope they are better than this effort.
