500ml brown glass bottle.
L: Clear, golden colour with a couple of streams of bubbles and a thin, soapy head that leaves spotty lacing.
S: Very light honey aroma.
T: Runny honey, pear and lemon. Clean and bright flavours with a candy aftertaste.
F: Medium/light body with a slick mouthfeel and a nicely bitter bite.
O: A lovely English golden ale. Perfect summertime drinking… and also pretty good on a freezing winter evening.

A present from a friend who visited Shrewsbury. The Bottle pours a golden colour that has a white head that disperses quickly. Aromas of citrus, lemon & barley. Tastes was fruity, with some apricot as well as citrus & lemon. Fairly mild bitter hops aftertaste. Overall nice enough, looking forward to trying others from this brewery.

Brown 500ml bottle, best before the end of Dec 2010, drank and reviewed on 26 Oct 2010. Poured into an 'Abbot Ale' tankard, my current tasting glass.

True to its name the beer had a golden and bright body, on top a pure white head of bubbles. Plenty of carbonisation, could clearly see bubbles rising through the body and leaving the sides of the glass.

Asked to be served cold on the bottle (between 10-12 C), I dutifully did so, but it hampered the smell somewhat to me. Only a mild, light malt and hop mix could I find in the nose. The aromas didn't expand as the beer warmed either, so maybe the temp made no difference anyway?

The taste was also a mix of light malts and hops, a pleasant mix mind. The beer became more bitter in the aftertaste as the mouth dried, but the hop content wasn't a huge amount, just enough to stop the beer being classed as sweet.

Typical UK Pale Ale, flavoursome and easy to drink. I hope this small craft beer producing brewery grows from strenght to strenght and if all their produts are as good as this they should do so!
