Light orangey-amber; phenolic nose - stinging medicinals. Slightly malty, herbal tasting. Dabosk is right this did taste off, but the best before date was next spring, so what can you do?

Bottle: Deep golden coloured, unclear, small creamy foamy head; vanilla in the delicate fruity-sourish nose; mild bitter-sourish flavour, very light bodied; short malty-fruity finish. O.K., a bit bland, nevertheless........

Sweet in aroma, golden pale in colour, very nic ein flavour, bubbling foam. Interesting for being a Golden Ale.

Bottle Conditioned, 500 ml. Golden colour, low condition, short lasting head. Flattish thin tasting beer with a citrusy orange note. Light and cisp but a flabby musty finish with a strange detergent note.

Pale orange colour. Lasting white head. Slightly yeasty aroma but some zesty bitter orange as well. Oranges and lemons in the flavour too. Rather sharp finish. Clean, crisp and refreshing, but nothing much else going on. Mine seems to have been rather fresher than some other tasters’, judging by earlier comments. Possibly a bit variable?Not bad. Nice label. 500ml bottle (bottle conditioned).

A rather muddy beer. The hops and malt merge together so that nothing is crisp and tasty - in fact it comes over, as people have noted, as being stale. Best avoided.

Brownorange, hazy. Hops and spices allo ver the places with a decent bitterness to round it off

This sample suffered from being a bit old. Light golden color, slightly fruity and a tart finish.

Not the strongest aroma, a bit "stale” which is sad because actually could be decent. Light amber look, light fruitiness, earthy.

Orange colour. Toffee and orange aroma. Sweet and malty. Low bitterness.
