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.

UPDATED: MAY 20, 2008 Cask (Coalheavers Arms, Peterborough)
Clear gold, think head. Sweet spicy aroma. Zingy malty body. Sticky crisp finish. More interesting than your average golden.

Cask@St Albans Beer Festival. Rough undeveloped malt character. Tastes like boiled vegetables, not good.

maeib (6630) - 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 (10070) - Ashford, 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

Cask (St Albans 05): Golden colour. Mild buttery aroma. Horrible astringent taste. Quite harsh. Undrinkable.
