Cask. Sparkler used. Pours a clear gold with a quickly dissipating frothy head.
Smells of fresh fruity hops with a touch of caramel both of which form the main flavour. Quite bitter.
Light and refreshing.
A standard modern cask bitter.

On cask as The Mayflower pub in Rotherhithe, London.
L: Murky, pale gold with one finger of short-lived head that leaves some lacing.
S: A hint of lemon zest.
T: Vaguely floral, vaguely citrusy.
F: Light body, not quite thin. Astringent finish.
O: Sold as a golden ale but very bitter and lacks body and flavour. A fairly basic EPA.

Bottled Unremarkable golden ale, clear yellow body, thick white head that lasts not that long. Nose is a bit like a lemon biscuit, not too sharp, with a hint of cereal there. Taste is clean, fresh and not very bitter. refreshing

A 500ml clear glass bottle with a BB of May 2013. Picked up a while back from Sainsbury's as part of their 2012 beer hunt. Described as a golden ale with a zesty aroma. There's some sort of sediment in the bottle, though I'm not sure if it's bottle conditioned or not.
Poured into a straight pint glass. A golden-amber colour with faint haze and low carbonation. Forms a decent head of white foam that lasts for a few minutes before subsiding. Some lacing. Aroma of light malt with hints of stewed hops, cardboard, fruity ale yeast, mild grain and faint floral notes. Pretty average.
Tastes of light caramel malt with a dry finish. Notes of stewed leaves, cardboard, fruity ale yeast, faint grain, a hint of toffee and a whisper of aromatic hops. Very dry and harsh, with a touch of solvent in the background. A restrained leafy bitterness upon swallowing. Mouthfeel is smooth, dry and tingly, accompanied by light carbonation and a thin, watery body. Rather astringent, with an aftertaste of acrid stewed leaves and bitterness.
Exceptionally mediocre. Bland aroma and flavour; punctuated by unpleasant off-notes. Uninspiring body. A pretty poor effort - I know Wadworth can make decent beer but with 'golden ale' on the label perhaps I should have expected this. At any rate, not good. Give it a miss and spend your money on something decent.

21st July 2012 and I’ve just got off the bus from the Cotswold Beer Festival: I’m thirsty, my taste buds are almost back to normal and my bladder is full (again). A half-pint of this hand-pulled cask ale is just what I needed on my return from the toilet: well done wife for ordering it.
Englands Glory in Gloucester is a Wadworth owned pub and they look after the beers nicely here: The pale golden beer was clear and bright, the head a proud snowy white colour. The nose (like the bottle version) is citrus/floral and hoppy: as is the taste, this is a fine beer and calmed me down after the extremes of the fest. Easy drinking and unexciting maybe, but it fitted the bill nicely on this occasion.
