2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
On cask (handpump) at Great British Beer Festival, day 3 on 6 August 2009. Amber colour. Fairly clean and dry. Despite the colour, this comes across more like a traditional bitter - I’d hope for rather more assertive, zesty hop presence in a good golden ale. I can’t imagine the American hops were used in very generous quantities. Nothing out of the ordinary here. Respectable but not exactly exciting.
