Golden colour very pale and hoppy. Creamy slightly bitter lasting malt finish.

Dec 11, 2004 Golden colour. heavy butterscotch aroma. It would appear from other comments that the beer is made that way, rather than the conditioning being at fault. The flavour has some dry malt and moderate bitterness, but that intrusive diacetyl comes through again. Not great. Cask (handpump) at the Head of Steam, Euston.

Dec 10, 2004 Cask conditioned - handpump - Head Of Steam Euston (RB London Xmas Crawl 2004). More copper than golden in appearance. The aroma had diacetyl andsome caramel. A typical Caley toffee/caramel taste with some biscuit notes also. Quite drinkable but not excellent.

Golden with a fluffy head. Aroma is buttery. OK to taste but far to much unpleasent butter/diactylness. OK.
Sampled on the Ratebeer London Meetup & Pub Crawl, December 2004. With Silktork, Chris_o & Maeib

Nov 18, 2004 Updated: Dec 10, 2004Nov, 2004:JDW, Whitehall, London. A pale malt beer. Fragrant hops, but too much diactyl. Tastes pleasant initially, but the persistent butterscotch becomes too cloying. [2.7]
Dec, 2004:Head of Steam, Euston. Caramel. Pleasant, but butterscotch becomes heavy. London Xmas Crawl.[2.5]
