500ml bottle, another part of the mixed four-pack from Andwell now available in Wild Rose Country. A 'Gold Muddler' is a type of fishing fly employed by the good folk of Hampshire - they sure do seem well involved with that river Lyde that runs right by.

This beer pours a clear, bright medium golden yellow colour, with a half finger worth of loosely foamy, broadly bubbly dirty white head, which leaves but a few wayward specks of islet lace around the glass as it quickly wafts off.

It smells of somewhat sweet, bready pale malt, a bit of musty yeast, mushed apples, and stout earthy, leafy hops. The taste is fairly crisp, grainy pale malt, a touch of biscuity white breadiness, some niggling spent yeast, a bit of fruity lemon and lime, an uncertain mineral water sulphuric essence, and subtle leafy, weedy noble hops.

The carbonation is a tad peppy, but to no ill effect, the body just on the lee side of medium weight, and generally smooth, nothing really sticking out to prove otherwise. It finishes mostly dry, the biscuity malt and increasingly zippy leafy, and latently citrusy hops running the show.

An agreeable enough English pale ale, golden and blonde in its own right. Hoppier than I was expecting, and that ain't no bad thing. A sessionable ale, in these fresh summer days, if there ever was one.
