Appearance - Pours a cloudy dark gold with a finger width of bubbly white head.
Smell - Bready and biscuity malts, wheat, lemon peel, light citrus hops, caramel.
Taste - Bready, biscuity malts and the caramel stand out up front, along with a touch of wheat and the light citrus hops provide a little bit of bitterness.
Mouthfeel - Light to medium bodied with light carbonation.
Overall - A refreshing golden ale that could easily be sessionable. Good solid base of malts and caramel.

Golden color with a two finger head with medium retention and leaving some laces.
Aroma of English hops with notes of caramels, flowers, white grapes and bread.
Flavor of bread malt, citrus, English earthy hops, guaraná and white grapes. Hints of tea and lemon. Dry aftertaste with an elegant bitterness.
Light to medium body with appropriate carbonation.
What a pleasant English beer to drink, very tasty, but also light, refreshing and balanced. Extremely sessionable. Worth the recognition from CAMRA.

Bottle. Golden amber. Thick dense head. Good lacing.
English hops, lemon and malt biscuit on the nose.
The caramel in the malt becomes more pronounced on tasting. Hops remain.
Medium body and carbonation that brings out the flavours.

Hand-pulled pint on 27th Sep 2013 in a local club.
Golden body with a good, full white crown.
The nose was both floral and mildly malty, as as the taste. A dry bitter finish comes along after the initial malty caramel notes that linger for a while in the mouth.
Pleasant rather than wonderful, a good solid beer with subtle flavours and smells that show you don't need strong, overpowering brew to make a fine beer.
