Notes
Of all the light ales in this series of reviews, this is certainly the most affable. And digestible. The Golden Hops are superbly tempered to give a velvety smooth product, topped by sweet orange blossom cascading before your eyes lolling in abundant corpuscles of carefree snowflakes. The gas content is just about right- not too overpowering- we’re talking purring tug boat, not a Titanic engine. All in all, this is the perfect golden light ale with only a modest bite back. Like the mists of the Mersey rolling in on a sunny spring day, as you sit in the Pumphouse of the Albert Dock, gently sipping a shimmering pint of contemplation. There is balance, nostalgia, optimism. In the distance a buoy rings out, clanging without care.
