3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Amber pint at Bridge, Newcastle. Froth head. Taste is unusual, sour almost wheat beer flavour, quite a lot of spices, and herby grassy corriander hops. Quite a sweet finish. Decent enough.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle thanks to cgarvieuk at the pre-plzen knees up. Alround rating: A very spicey golden ale, clove and giner are key, perhaps buttery.

2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle picked up by my dad from the brewery, and had this on 17-01-08 Poured gold in colour very spicy, taste more so than aroma which also had toffee sweetness coming through. This wasn’t really my thing I found it far too overpowering and too spicy.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Golden with a small head. Aromas are toffee malts with pear and tea. Plenty of Xmas spices. Flavours are sweet caramel malts with herbal and spicy notes. Some sweet chocolate with a light dry finish. Decent.
