Clear gold, think head. Sweet spicy aroma. Zingy malty body. Sticky crisp finish. More interesting than your average golden. duff (5402), Sydney, Australia, Surrey, England Oct 11, 2005 Cask@St Albans Beer Festival. Rough undeveloped malt character. Tastes like boiled vegetables, not good. chris_o (4395), London, Greater London, England Oct 7, 2005 Cask (gravity dispense), St Albans Beer Festival 2005 (last day). Clear gold colour. Very indistinct aroma. Nothing leaps out of the flavour in terms of fresh zing that you expect in a golden ale. In fact there was a rather incongruous caramel flavour. Tired.
maeib (3802), Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, England Oct 3, 2005 Cask conditioned - handpump - St Albans BF. An old gold coloured beer (well named then!) with a tired sweet hop aroma. The taste is nastily sweet and cloying. My second beer from this brewery - not impressed! harrisoni (4722), Ashford, Kent, Kent, England Oct 3, 2005 Cask (gravity dispense), St Albans Beer Festival 2005. Orange/copper colour. Bit of orangey fruit on aroma. Malt is ok without being remarkable. Orange citrus finish. Fine
