(Notes of 07/2007) Tasted by a half-pint at the Swim Inn, a JDW pub on West Street, Sheffield; served by a sparkler pour.

A: extremely pale straw in colour with light haze and low carbonation, topped with a nice white foamy head with okay retention
S: a semi-sharp and lively pineapple-ish note of exotic yeastiness (reminiscent of some Belgian pale ales) comes on top of a lightly grainy-malt backbone; also, it's a tad savoury-sweet at the fringe.
T: mildly dry in terms of the grassiness of hops, while a touch of lemon zests is also at presence; the malt input stays at a very low level overall, while a soothing flow of tangy as well as powdery citric undertone runs freely throughout the drink, turning quite dry in the very end of tasting.
M&D: too light-bodied and thin on the mouthfeel, while the carbonation has all but disappeared... not on form, this cask. A whiff of light wheat-ish maltiness struggles to come through, and so I suppose when served fresh, this might be a quite hoppy and slightly more balanced Golden Bitter. I don't mind trying it again on cask.
