Quite heavily carbonated but definitely pleasant. Nice, light, hoppy bitterness with fruity hints.

mixture of malt and hops but a very mild aroma sweet smelling. Certainly is golden but slightly cloudy with a large off white head, some lacing on the glass. Subtle flavour, but can’t put my finger on it, nice though not like others i’ve tried lately that are too lagerish. Also tasted this as tesco golden ale but the tesco one was slightly more perfumed and didn’t rate as high. They should be put on as seperate beers as they were different.

I sampeld this under the name of Tesco’s Finest Ale and it’s pretty good. Sweet and caramel in taste, but a lovely amber colour. Smooth and fruity - very drinkable.

Bottle, sat with KP. Golden in appearance, white head. Citrus, little hops, and yeah can taste a little of that demerara sugar (cheers label). So so, not bad.

Bottle@Home. Malty, caramel, herbal aroma. Golden color, white head, good lace. Light sweet, bitter, grassy, herbal. Dry mouthfeel with a metallic finish.
