3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
3rd June 2011
Clear god amber beer, little white head. Smooth palate, moderate carbonation. Sweetish stout - subtle esters underneath providing a generic sweetness. On top are mildly bitter marmalade hops. Slightly tangy orange finish. Not bad at all.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottled, 500ml at The Pinto Lounge, Banbury. Gold with white head. Initial clean, crisp malt note is followed by a hint of caramel, there is also a touch of marmalade sweetness and orange peel. The real hoppiness doesn’t show through too much, but it is certainly drinkable.

500ml bottle (Snow@ChrisO)
Slighly papaery bitter. Dull. Earthy bitterness in the finish. Not aromatic enough for a golden - where’s the citrus from the goldings gone?

Bottle. Bright gold with a low, subsiding collar. Good marmalade tang on the nose; pale biscuity malts, almond sniffs. Bright and tangy with stewed tea notes, orange-accented hop, hints of leafiness and fresh, clinging malts suggesting cashew and malted milk biscuits. Pretty juicy.
