[Cask conditioned] Amber coloured. Some malts in the aroma. Mild and malty flavour.
2.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
This beer was adopted as Hyde's premium beer a few years ago, but seems to have lost some character since then. Amber/gold in colour, a creamy head which lasts well but little aroma, maybe a hint of malt. Quite plain in the taste with malt and apricot fruits, turning biscuity (typical Hydes beer then!) in the finish but saved from becoming cloying by some bitter hops. Overall a tad sweet and under-hopped for a premium bitter. (sampled on cask in the Vaults, Wigan, UK)
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Cask Conditioned, Royal Standard, Wooburn Common, Bucks (off gravity). Plenty of flavour in this golden bitter. Fruity, almost grapefruit.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
sharp hoppy aroma, light bronze hue with a good sized head, sharp hoppy flavour with a long dry finish, similar in ways to an IPA
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cask Conditioned at The Eagle, Buxton. Pale Gold with big head. Fruity juicy tangy golden beer with lemon zest flavour. Smoothed aut with lightly roasted Malts. A decent beer.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Very smooth beer with little touch of malt to taste and bitter hopps to finish.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Amber gold with a long lasting rocky head and good lace, but no real aroma. Slight hints of maltiness in the mouth but a soft forgettable finish.
