<i>Comments:</i> Rather dull, watery, floral and faintly malty ale.
oh6gdx (6583), Vaasa, Finland Aug 29, 2007 Cask@GBBF2007. Pale yellow colour, not much head. Very malty nose with bready and even yeasty hints. Flavour is yeast, some slight hints of smooth caramel malts. Still boring. MesandSim (4723), Highgate, Greater London, England Aug 13, 2007 A Mes rate:
Cask handpump at GBBF. Watery yellow appearance. Sulphuric aroma with slight diacetyl and some honey. Exactly the same in the flavour with a powdery finish. Boring. maeib (4141), Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, England Aug 11, 2007 Cask conditioned - handpump - GBBF 2007. A bright yellow gold coloured beer. A sweet aroma with notes of honey. The taste also has honey and sweet yeastiness. Acceptable but fairly uninteresting.
