Certainly looks the part, sparkling gold and very crystal clear. Not sure about the bottle’s claim to using European & American aroma hops, as it’s a bit lacking in that department. Taste-wise, it puts me in mind of continental lagers, but without the harshness that these can bring. As others have mentioned, lime citrus and biscuit characteristics are apparent, a touch sulphury in the finish. Sessionable.

50cl bottle bought in Hartney Wintney. Hazy straw with a billowing white head; weisbier style yeasty aroma; similar flavour with a hint of banana; the finish is dry and lightly spicy. More a Weisbier than a Golden Ale, but very drinkable nonetheless.
