Presentation: Sampled from one of four ever-rotating Guest Beers on sale at the Wakefield Labour Club (a.k.a. ‘The Red Shed’) during a recent trip back home to England. A Seasonal brew from the rarely seen but very good Mordue Brewery.

Appearance: Golden orange with a snaggled head, one of those which sticks to the sides of the glass and pulls itself this way and that, breaking up in the process but always leaving a terrific looking lacing.

Nose: Lemon and bitter hops amongst a soft sweet malt background. Depressed strength but the aromas are there.

Taste: Hops are floral in nature and impart a flowery middle and a finish that has a hint of hop oil perfume in the finish. The malts struggle to enter throughout and the flowery hops are a bit too girlie for me.

Mouthfeel: Medium body that errs towards a ‘thin’ feel rather than an ‘above average’ one. After a Pint, the body starts to loose its sparkle and exhibit a watery feel. Average, overall, just.

Drinkability: A spring time session brew which doesn’t really do enough to keep my interest beyond the first Pint.

Overall: OK, nothing special, just another low key session Blond ale which has a splash of citric floral hops to break up the boredom.
