UPDATED: JAN 24, 2023 Backlog July 2015. Clear golden body under a fast-disappearing white head. Aroma of grain and butterscotch. Taste is sweet malt, butterscotch and slightly bitter. Medium body and same aftertaste. Not very successful.

UPDATED: AUG 4, 2022 500ml bottle. Gluten Free. Golden colour, foamy white head leaving lacing and aroma of citric hop, grassy. Taste is sweetish, biscuity malt, grain, fruity, with some tangy bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry citric bitter finish. Quite OK

UPDATED: SEP 4, 2021 Good hoppy IPA with good carbonation clean and fresh pine and citrus light bitter finish recommend its a great beer

UPDATED: MAY 22, 2021 Bottle from Asda. Pours a clear light golden colour with a medium sized throthy white head. Aromas of grains, citrus lemon, bread, biscuits and a hint of herbal. Taste has more citrus lemon, bread, grass and more herbal notes with a long hoppy bitter but not harsh finish. Thinnish body, low carbonation and smooth oily mouthfeel. Nice.

UPDATED: MAY 21, 2021 Bottle - clear, light lemon, high carbonation giving decent sized white head. Quite pleasant malty lemon aroma. OK mouthfeel - good body to taste, not watery - refreshing lemony with strong finish.

UPDATED: APR 5, 2021 Old rating from 2010 - 500ml bottle, pours clear golden with a white head. Aromas & tastes of orange, grapefruit, pears, flora, caramel, earth, spices & hops. Moderate body. Light bitter finish

UPDATED: JUL 27, 2020 Aroma : Lightly toasted sweet caramel malt, strong friuty & floral hop, especially Peach and Melon. Taste : Dryish hoppy citric bite with a long bitter aftertaste. Actual flavours are a bit thin though. O.K. warm afternnon beer!

UPDATED: JUL 6, 2020 500ml bottle from Waitrose, Epsom. Pours clear pale golden yellow with a white head. Aroma of malt and fruit. Dry bitter taste and finish.

UPDATED: JUL 3, 2020 Bottle from Tesco. Exudes a pleasant aroma of fresh hops and lemon. Pours a plae lemon yellow with a transient frothy white head. Low carbonation and a watery texture. Lots of hops in the mouth – but not the kind I like ! The kind that have a taste resembling used ash trays. Finish is slightly less hoppy. Do I really have to drink the rest of this bottle ? Sigh. { Wouldn’t call it a golden ale either. A pale ale or an IPA }

UPDATED: JUN 15, 2020 500ml bottle BBE May 2021. Pours a straw pale colour with a white head and advertised on the bottle as a Pale Ale no doubt for this reason. Malt, citrus and hop aroma. Nice level of carbonation on the palate, smooth also and not too watery so good body. Taste of malt, bread, a moderate sweetness and a bitter crisp finish. It’s not absolutely packed with flavour but there are some subtle notes, it’s extremely well balanced and has good body. Excellent session beer.
