3.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20 dnas2 (705) - Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, ENGLAND - JUL 5, 2009
Bottle from Sainsbury’s: Poured very nicely, not too big a head yet quite carbonated. Clear orange-gold colour. Floral malts in the scent with some hop on the end. Slightly on the thin side, quite sweet with a slight sickiness in the mouthfeel. Malty, floral, mown grass with a hint of cereals on the end of the mouth but all of it very delicate. Quite a refreshing pint but not interesting enough to remember.

Bottled 500ml, pasteurised, fron Sainsburys, Bath. Carbonated pale gold with short white head. Sweet, cardboardy, boiled grain notes from the start with an odd herbal flavour. At about half way point the palate become anaesthetised and it becomes difficult to taste anything apart from a sweetness. Not good.

50cl bottle from Sainsburys. Pale gold with a trace of white head; fruity and malty aroma with some honey; soft and sweet in the mouth with honey, gentle hops and a curious fruity herbal taste that is resumably the dandelion; then there’s a herbal bitterness to finish. Overall quite drinkable, but not something I would seek out a regular tipple.

Bottle. Golden with a pleasant aroma upon opening. Strange fruity taste, Difficult to describe the overall taste only to say that it wasn’t very pleasant.An experiment to produce something different that went wrong.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 Fin (5749) - Merton, Oxfordshire, England, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - MAY 31, 2009
Bottle from Sainsbury, Kidlington, 30-05-09 Pours mid gold with white head. Aroma is sweet, honey, malt and a touch of the pilsner about it. This is quite soft in the mouth, the merest hint of pislner again, but its far too sweet, the sweetness has knocked the stuffing out of any bitterness that may have been there, some honey. Another Badger beer that despite just not quite being right, its not unlikeable for all of its faults. A6 A4 F6 P3 Ov11 3.0
