3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Strong toasty nose. Pale gold with a creamy head. Flavour, while a bit watery, is reasonably refreshing and satisfying if undistinguished. That toasty, biscuity quality carries through all the way and gives a sense that this would be an appealing session beer. Very slight sourness at the very end.

bottle. copper colour white head fresh aroma nice hoppy nose with dash of yeast and touch of banana
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle from Morrison’s. Another Golden pasteurised ale from Jennings. Gold colour, fizzy head. Aroma of hops, malt and berry fruit. Good hoppy finish.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Orangey, gold colour with a slim white head. Fruit and veg aroma, some malt. Inoffensive comes to mind regarding the taste; light hops, some malt, slightly bitter. Light to medium mouthfeel, moderate carbonation. Not bad, but dull.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
An unremarkable bottle. Quite a good head, but I don’t like the dull, medium colour. Otherwise there wasn’t enough of anything: aroma, taste, bitterness. Best thing is the rat on the bottle.
1.8 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20
Bottle from Morrisons, High Wycombe, Bucks. Boring golden bottled bitter devoid of almost any character with just some trace malt towards the end (slightly sweet, biscuit). Incredibly dull but not unpleasent.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottled, Pasteurised, 500ml;
Pale gold colour with fizzed short head. Sharp unassuming bitter, somewhat tinny and harsh. Malty sweetness with a forced bitterness on the finish. A little boring really.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Solid but unremarkable English "golden bitter". It poured a caramel colour with a short white head. Hint of strawberries and some sweet malt in the nose. A little skinny in the body but quenching. Well rounded fruitiness in the middle and a late burst of bitterness. Decent session ale but there’s not enough going on to bring you back otherwise. (Bottle)
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Orange body with small white head. Aroma is lightly maltet with some hops. Flavor Has a slight sweetness, but is dominated by the hoppy bitterness.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
UPDATED: SEP 8, 2004 Bottled. Golden with low carbonation, producing a sudsy white head. Asparagus and fermented vegetable aroma. Sweet honey flavour, neutral middle palate and late bitterness that barely arrives at all.
