May 5, 2007 Cask at the Myrtle Grove (JDW), Bingley, West Yorks’, 03-05-07. Golden in colour, nice floral aroma with a hint of alcohol. Taste was very smooth with hints of vanilla, some grapefruit flavours also coming through after with a dry finish, great beer, suprised at the ratings of others as I felt this was an excellent beer.

Mar 1, 2007 Cask (gravity dispense) at the Bricklayers Arms Yorkshire Beer Festival, Putney, London. Rich gold colour. Quite pale for a strong bitter but definitely a bitter rather than a golden ale. Not for the first time with a Goose Eye beer, the overall effect was impaired by a heavy buttery diacetyl presence in the aroma. In the mouth its cleaner, with a balance of soft malt and citric hop. Decent bite on the finish. But, unfortunately, its the diacetyl that leaves the most lasting impression.

Oct 14, 2002 Cask conditioned, gravity dispense. Straw gold colour. Lots of fruit in the nose, mainly grapefruit which carries through into the body mingling with some malt before finishing sweetly.
