albertane (218), Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, England Feb 16, 2008 Bottled. This is pleasant but unremarkable, a fairly standard English golden ale. I wouldn’t seek it out again, but there’s nothing wrong with it. DJMonarch (4091), Northwich, Cheshire, England Dec 21, 2005 Cask Stillage at the GBBF, Kensington Olympia 05/08/2005
Golden coloured and hoppy with some spicy flavours. Slight dryness in a lasting malt finish. chris_o (4393), London, Greater London, England Dec 8, 2005 Cask (gravity dispense), GBBF, August 2005. Yet another in the seemingly interminable procession of golden ales, with nothing really to lift it out from the ordinary. Not a lot of aroma. Soft fruit and tangy hops on the palate. Dry and reasonably bitter. More earthy than aromatic. Not much US or German influence here. OK, just hard to get excited about.
tiggmtl (4157), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Sep 14, 2005 Mild herbal hops and fruity esters in the nose. Clear copper coloured body with low, white, fully diminishing head. Fruity, lightly buttery flavour has some citrus character and a lightly bitter finish. Medium-light body is somewhat slick with fairly low carbonation. Cask at GBBF 2005. kook (2035), Perth, Western Australia, Australia Aug 26, 2005 Cask (GBBF): Mild sweet fruity aroma. Gold in colour. Sweet caramel with almost a touch of berries. Medium bodied, drinkable bitter.
