Beautiful orangey bronze colour. More malty than I expected for a blond beer, with no great hop bite. Nonetheless, pretty well balanced. Quite nice, but not hugely exciting. Bottled (not bottle conditioned)

Clear golden with a white head. Aroma is sweet, malty and light hoppy - straw. Flavor is medium sweet and light bitter. Sweet finsh. 250512

Medium light golden ale, bottled. Lively head settles quickly. Pleasant bitterness and clean palate, refreshing. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

UPDATED: MAY 24, 2012 Light golden amber colour. Small head leaves lacings on glass. Light caramel/burnt sugar flavour. Medium carbonation. Light/thin body. Finished a bit bitter to sour but overall a decent beer.

Poured this one into an English pint glass. Appearance is golden and clear. Aroma is a little spice hard to pinpoint. Flavour is fruity and malt with a bitter finish. It flows across the palate lightly with some carbonation. Overall a decent social beer to include its name.

500ml Bottle:
Malts, caramel, lighter aromas such as honey, vanilla and some butterscotch.
Light golden amber, small foamy white head that leaves some lacing on glass.
Sweet with some light caramel and vanilla flavours, some light honey & some bitter hops. There is a little citrus and some floral, grassy hops too.
A light medium bodied beer with a smooth texture and an overall sweetness. Carbonation is about medium and easy to drink.

This one was quite a nice, sweet tasting beer with a good mix of flavours and good balance between them. Drinkability was good and the beer had a nice, smooth and easy to drink feel to it.

Pours gold with a small fading head. Nose shows faint caramel and floral notes. Pretty subtle. Flavours include nutty malt, caramel and faint vegetal notes. Again, pretty restrained. Body feels a bit watery.

Semi hazy golden body, white head. Aroma of sweet malt, light sugar, bisquits. Flavour is sweet withe fruits and some hops. Bisquits too. Light buttery finish.

Bottle. Golden, fully diminishing head. Moderate malty and caramel sweetish aroma, toffee and faint fruitiness. Body is medium, malty and sweetish, caramel and toffee. Finish is average, malty and lightly sweetish, caramel and toffee. Sweetish golden ale – no hoppyness.
