500 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 4.0%. Deep golden to amber colour, big to moderate and slightly off-white lasting head. Moderate aroma of malts with some herbal and spicy notes (probably from the First Gold hops), hints of orange marmalade and caramel. The flavour has moderate malts with some notes of caramel, and fairly nice spicy and herbal hops again. Moderately bitter aftertaste.

Not much aroma to this one. A great-looking beer with a nice foamy head, it’s slightly fizzy with a sweet edge. Very drinkable.

Pours deep golden with a high head. Aroma is fruity malts. Flavor is malts, fruits and some hops. Not bad.

Brown 500ml bottle, best before Oct 2007, drank March 2007. Poured into a pint sleeve. Reddy brown, fairly light, but not golden as the name suggests, the name comes from the First Gold hops used to make the beer. Smelt of washing up liquid, but not the lemon flavoured variety. Dry and not overly clean or pleasant taste, metalic flavour, a strange beer. Aftertaste is dry and watery, with a hop feel, nothing much else. Not for me, to dry and uninteresting, there are a lot of better English Bitters out there.

Bottle, 4%. Clear amber with medium tan head. Aroma is malt, caramel, little hop and a little fruit. Flavour is malt, caramel, medium sweet, hops, fruit, little toffee and a little bitter.

Clear amber with an off-white head. Aroma is sweet, malty, caramel and moderate hoppy - spicy and citrus. Flavor is medium sweet and light bitter. Dry and light bitter finish. 050512

Bottled 500ml (K-Kamppi, BB 12/2012)
Clear amber color, small white head. Nutty, fruity, English hoppy aroma. Light bodied, crisp carbonation. Nutty, some citrus and caramel. Very typical English bitter. I like single hop concept anyways.

500 ml bottle.
Pours a golden colour with a large, white and lacy head. Aroma of strong bread-like malts, grass and hay. Flavour of bready malts, grains, bitter hops, grass and hay again. Medium bodied, quite rough mouthfeel and a grainy bitter finish. Average.

Bottled 0.5L. Mild malty nose. Pale beige large head. Slightly coppery/reddish colour. Hoppy berryish roasty taste with some hints of burnt sugar. At the end hoppy bitterness.

A really nice beer, got a great hop taste that it will be difficult to beat
