Quite an average bitter, fruity, hoppy, bits of malt. Nothing too special but tasted ok.

MesandSim (7109) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - JUL 7, 2009
A Mes rate: cask at the Market (no) Porter.
Mid gold with a thin white head. Good hoppy aroma with plenty of citrus, good bitterness and a hint of sweaty feet. Flavour is similar. Really good, lasting fruity bitterness, possibly slightly raw but I’ll let it slide. Excellent dry finish with a lengthy bitter aftertaste. Decent stuff.

fonefan (24928) - VestJylland, DENMARK - OCT 24, 2008
Cask (handpump) @ Great British Beer Festival, GBBF 2008, Earls Court, London, England SW5.
Clear light to medium yellow orange color with a small, fizzy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, white to off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, toasted, light hoppy, citrus notes, buttery notes. Flavor is moderate sweet and light light bitter with a average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft to flat. (080808)

Rune (4922) - Tromsø, NORWAY - SEP 2, 2008
Weak aroma and taste of hops with an oily impression. Added some hints of sweet malts. Slight hazy, golden body. Nothing special and easy to drink (cask at GBBF, 09.08.2008).

oh6gdx (15955) - Vasa, FINLAND - AUG 21, 2008
Cask@GBBF2008. Golden colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is fruits, raisins and mild wood. Flavour is the same, ending in a big grassyness. Not very exciting...

harrisoni (10067) - Ashford, Kent, ENGLAND - AUG 20, 2008
Cask at GBBF 08. Gold, thin off white head. I mean, it’s actually a pretty good golden ale, but it’s still a golden ale. Fruit salad aroma, nice mouthfeel, some drying hop, more juicy fruit on the swallow. But hey, as I said, like a thousand other golden/blond ales.
