* Bottle-Conditioned Version
(Notes of 28/12/2013) Purchased from the local Tesco Supermarket, coming in a slim 500ml brown bottle, bottle-conditioned according to the back label; BB 15/05/2014, served cool in a straight imperial pint glass.
A: pours a pale golden colour with very good clarity and a thin but well-lasting layer of off-white foam, on top of constant flows of mild carbonation.
S: astringent citric-zesty aroma (as of Goldings and/or Saaz, etc.) pairs well with the lightly candy-ish pale malts said to be sourced from the Sussex region, underlined by an acute tinge of yeasty acidity not unlike that experienced from many Belgian golden ales. Given a good swirl, the deeper, gristy malt aroma comes to the fore along with more exotic fruit esters. Very nice, on the balance.
T: interesting flavour… the entry of light citric-zesty and even grassy hop elements, assertive fruit esters, fulsome pale malts and possibly wheat malts are ensued by a fairly grainy/gristy mid-taste where the hop aroma disappears prematurely, succeeded only by a muted tinge of bitterness in the end which however finishes fairly well-attenuated, in favour of an overall good drinkability.
M&O: softly-carbonated, medium-bodied, moderately-flavoured and nevertheless fairly dry and easy drinking, this nicely bottle-conditioned ale is marked in my book as slightly more interesting than one’s average English Blond Ale, perhaps attributable to Hepworth’s yeast culture applied in this brew.
* Cask-Conditioned Version
(Notes of June 2007) Tasted by a half-pint at the Prince Albert, a free house nr. Brighton Railway station that serves the whole range of Hepworth's cask ales.
3.5 A: dark orangey golden with 90% clarity, coming with a fluffy off-white head and low carbonation.
3 S: refreshing aroma of Goldings plus a light sugary as well as acidic fruity edge of malts. Period.
3 T: light grassiness of hops and straws with a light flow of wheat-malts bitterness develops at the back and deepens to result in a chewy, dryish, tea-leafy, and grassy hoppy aftertaste, yet an interesting mixture of honey and wheats also lingers here.
3.5 M&3 D: quite softly-textured and med-bodied, there is slight lack of fizziness but compensated for by the bittering hop input. Overall, NOT on form, I must say, but the profile is still balanced with potentials of a quaffable, hoppy pale bitter.
* Cask-Conditioned Version
(Notes of mid-April 2007) Tasted by a half-pint at the Prince Albert, a free house nr. Brighton Railway station that serves the whole range of Hepworth's cask ales.
3 A: pale amber, slight haze, thin foam on top of low level fizziness.
3 S: neutral scent mixed of lager malts or very pale malts, a touch of grassy hops very simplistic and the condition suggests that its not at its prime.
3 T: pear-drops and floral hops with a belated entry of mild honeyish & juicy malts with water-biscuity hints ; a dryish touch of zesty bitterness lingers quietly in the end with a wee bit of citrus fruits as well. Clean and dry finish with a profound level of bitterness to boot.
3.5 M&3.5 D: slightly flat in texture, but it does benefit from some softly zesty inputs from hops; this is a med-bodied Pale Bitter with good bitterness.

500 mL brown bottle poured into a pint glass.
Pours a cloudy, orangish-brown in colour, with a very thick, large foamy head of 2 fingers. Even upon a slow pour, I couldn't fit the entire bottle in the glass. The off-white head dissipates very slowly leaving lots of lacing around the glass.
Tastes very nice--mellow upfront with a nice balanced of sweet and bitterness, with a mildly fruity finish.
Refreshing and crisp in the mouthfeel with light to moderate carbonation. This could esily become a 'regular' beer.
