Bottled (4.5%) at Monk’s Café, Stockholm. Hazy pale golden, small head. Fresh aroma of vanilla and citrus. Light bodied and with fresh citric hops. Lightly yeasty with notes of minerals. Like spritzy custard with a bitter edge.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Plale golden with a small white head. Aromas are toasty with loads of citrus. Some bitterness with resinous hops. Flavours are spritzy, fresh lemon wth some grapefruit bitterness following. Some toasty , caramel malts are lurking but this is mostly a citrus brew.

NIce one, a little bitter but stills being a good blond beer. NIce foam too.

Bottled.More like a lager than a golden ale this was superb.A wonderful long lasing citrus taste dominates.This is perfectly balanced with gentle traces of bitterness. What a find-highly recommended.

Mild fruity aroma. Sweet hoppy fruity flavour with citrus notes. Gold with a white head. Medium bodied. Nice.

Bottle. Pale yellow. Big aroma of Saaz hops. Nice hoppy flavour, citrus and slightly floral. Also a hint of sweet flavour, something like vanilla?
Nice golden ale, though not my favourite I will probably have this one again.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Golden lager like appearance. Light citrussy nose. Pleasant floral citrus and fruit flavours with a long crisp hoppy finish. A decent bitter.

UPDATED: JUL 24, 2010 Oct, 2004 Bottle. An acceptable Golden Ale - nothing special, but quite drinkable. [2.7]
Spring 2010 Cask: Special - JDW Spring Fest 2010, Rochester. Touch of melon in a light fragrant blond, though also a touch of soap. OK [2.8]
