500ml brown glass bottle.
L: Clear, pale gold with a thin soapy head that disappears completely and leaves no lacing.
S: Sweet, delicate and floral.
T: Honeysuckle, white peach, passionfruit, lemon and a touch of aniseed.
F: Medium/light body with a very slick mouthfeel and a lightly drying finish.
O: An English pale ale brewed with Polish and Czech lager hops. Starts floral but becomes more herbal. I like it when a beer reveals its different personalities over time. I think I prefer the traditional Gold but this is well worth a try. Probably even better on cask than in bottle format.

Had the pleasure of visiting this brewery and its visitor centre in the summer of 2011: this review however is of a hand pulled pint in the excellent Cock Hotel, Wellington on 2nd Feb 2012.
Almost lager looking: pale golden, clear and bright with a thin snow white head on top.
One sniff tells you its an ale though, not a lager: waves of citrusy hop esters fill the nose along with freshly cut grass.
I thought it might taste a bit weak from its looks but I was mistaken: good flavoursome blend, hop frontage and rear with a bready malt centre.
Very easy to drink and refreshing.
