Blair		13 Feb 2011	I still expect this to be dark for whatever reason. Very pale and hoppy beer, reminded me a little of Oakham - Bishop's Farewell. Really good.

Ian		07 Aug 2008	Gold, thin white head. It’s a fine golden ale, some toffee, some hop, some fullness because of the alcohol. But ultimately a little empty. Some lemon flavour towards the end.

Blair		16 Apr 2008	I was expecting a dark beer for some reason. However, this was a very pleasant, fruity golden ale. This one would go down really well on a summers day.
