| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 10, 2005 Hand pulled at the Wellington, Birmingham. The Goffs website says this is a Porter, but I watched it being pulled from the correct pump, and this was definitely Golden! Dark gold, flat, with no head. Floral hop aroma. A smooth and evenly distributed hop flavour, with some pineapple. Only on the finish is a little dry malt exposed. On the better side of average.
