2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Rating No.4400

2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Gusher. Big white lasting coarseish head. Clear golden body
with strong carbonation. Fruity lemon zest and cider aroma with
mealy earthy musty notes. Dry-sweet honey and straw taste with
fruity notes. Mid-bodied. Odd mouthfeel, kind of mealy. Dryish
fruity lemon zest aftertaste with honey and cider notes. This
one was strange -- not very fresh, either. Almost a year to the
best before date. Strange. (0.5l bottle, Alko Arkadia,
Helsinki.)
2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Another one of Ogi’s. Misty golden body with a small white head. Malty nose with notes of rotten fruit, some acidity. Empty, generic malty taste, maybe slightly fruity. Dry finish. Couldn’t be more underwhelming than it is.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottled 500ml (Arkadia, BB 03/2013)
Clear deep golden color, small white head. Light citrus, some fruityness in the nose, also a bit yeasty. Medium-bodied, active carbonation. Some fruits, light caramel and citrus in the flavor. Weak palate. Nothing wrong with this, but it is just totally uninteresting.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
This 500ml bottle conditioned golden ale was poured (Jan 2012) into my Abbot Ale glass tankard carefully so as not to disturb the sediment, so I got a truely golden beer with a huge white crown of bubles on top.
The beer is clearly well carbonated because it never stopped releasing bubbles that climbed up from the base of my glass to the roof.
The aroma is a mix of yeasts and citruy hops with hints of bicuity malts in there somewhere too.
The taste is fairly dry, citrusy, grapefruits, but not sour. The malt content seems to hide away somewhat although the beer isn’t unbalanced. This is a refreshing golden ale and so, so easy to drink.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20

2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
0.5 l bottle. Slightly hazy deep golden color. Flowery fruity aroma with meadowsweet and hint of yeast. Delicate flowery taste with tart resins and citrus. Plusses for bright flowery hoppiness, minuses for berryish yeasty notes.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20

4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottled, 0.5l. Pours hazy honey golden colour with frothy brownish short-lasting head and flat carbonation. Yeast residue is present, too. Strong hoppy and fruity aroma. Sweet malty start, followed by fruity notes and finished with medium long hoppy aftertaste. Full bodied with oily texture and low carbonation. Excellent choice...
