4.7 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 19/20
This makes a pleasant session beer which leaves me wanting more. Which is a pleasant change. Its not heavily hopped but has a nice grapefruity edge to it but not long lasting.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. A nondescript beer that delivered very little of the hops promised by the brewer. An easy drinker that is pretty cheap.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
leggermente ambrata poca schiuma non molto persitente leggero diacetile mela verde amaro non intenso leggero caramello
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle from Vino WIne Shops, Morningside
Amber, some haze, thin frothy white head, minimal lacing
Aroma - pale sweet malts, light hay, soft grassy hops, light citrus, not very hoppy
Taste - pale sweet malts, hay malts, soft grassy hop. bit of citrus zest, not that hoppy, good balance between malt and hops though, generally subtle and easy drinking
Palate - soft carb, medium body. Finish as main flavour with short light zesty linger.
Overall - I agree that it has been classified as a Golden Ale, it’s not hoppy enough to be a true IPA, but it’s pleasant subtle beer. I think it’s rather underated here.

A initial sour bitterness hides a deep but well textured ale with an excellent, slightly hopped nose.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Cask by handpump at Halfway House, Edinburgh (9 Jun 12) - clear golden ale, thin white head, vegetable aroma, malty, bitter with a bit of astringency, not my thing
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Really safe hop notes, almost Lucozade style stagnant bubbles in a hefty carbonation. Almost cream soda wrapped hops, awkward for an IPA even at 5%. Nothing shining through from any angle on the palate. Frustrating safe rather than disappointing number.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
A - caramel malt and citrus
A - mid orangish gold with frothy head
T - sweet, but lacking the expected bitter
P - mid and soft
O - decent
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Dark golden in colour with toffee and caramel flavours and a woody bitter finish.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Pours nice clear golden amber. Not much head. White with fairly large bubbles. Nice caramel aroma with a little bit of citrus. Medium bitter taste with very little sweetness. Light body with a thin texture and a bit of carbonation. Average lenght of finish with bitter notes. The hops are not coming through in a proper way though. Fairly average.
