3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
A pale golden beer with a head that dissipates quite quickly and a mild, slightly hoppy aroma. The flavour is mostly hoppy and bitter with a slightly sour or citrus edge (it’s faint, I couldn’t quite pick it up.) Refreshing enough with an aftertaste that’s also hard to place.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours a very light gold. Light hop and malt on the nose. Zesty hops coupled to a very dry malt. Strange chemical quality at the finish which has an almost minty quality. Nice if you like the style

3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
[330ml bottle, The Beerhive, Edinburgh] Pours golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma is mostly straw-like cereal, but with some faint citrus there as well. On the flavour, biscuity malt dominates, particularly at room temperature when it becomes pretty dry and bitter on the finish [19092012]
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Aroma: Very mild aroma of straw, grass and caramel.
Appearance: Clear, golden body with a fluffy white head. Lively carbonation. Good lacing.
Taste: Clean and innoffensive. Cereal and caramel notes, but also quite lemony. Bitter finish that verges on sour. Light and refreshing.
Palate: Thin to medium body with a light, watery mouthfeel. Soft carbonation.
Overall: I agree with the description on the bottle that this is an ale for lager drinkers, or a lager for ale drinker. For me, though, Grapevine is a better, tastier beer than this.
