3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
A creamy, hoppy and almost flowery pint with a sharp bitter finish and a subtle aroma that made me think the beer was going to be blander than it was.

Fresh and crisp.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draught at Akkurat, Sthlm 110929. Clear golden beer with a big white head. Hoppy and citrus aroma. Very hoppy flavour.
2.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Cask. Pale blonde/straw colour, white head. Sweet, lemony aroma, lemon on the tongue and some sweetness and some hoppy bitterness. I believe it was served too warm. As a result it wasn’t refreshing and not very enjoyable. A decent beer, though, I believe.
2.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Half, cask, hand-pump dispense at Drum & Monkey. Patchy white head. Near-clear golden body. Restrained smell of herbal hops and earthy malts. Resinous hops to the taste buds added by biscuit malts. Rounded, dry bitter tail. Nice (Glasgow, 11.04.2012).
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
[cask at Hector’s, Edinburgh] Pours slightly hazy brilliant gold, with a decent white head. Zesty lemon on the nose. Bitter lemon fruit on the flavour, quite dry and citric, leading to a bitter hoppy finish. Quite crisp, decent golden ale [20012012]
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Tasted this in the Saltcot, Saltcoats (JDW) in May 2007. Cask, handpump dispense. Clear pale straw in colour with a thin white head. Zesty lemon in the short aroma. Thin resiny mouthfeel and good lacing. Pale malts give a thin insipid base with a weak citric tang. Dry floral hops add a citric bitter note to the aftertaste. Finish is short and watery with a whiff of fruit. Is this Dragonfly rebadged? Another poor Golden Ale effort.
