500ml bottle (K Kamppi, Helsinki)
5 On pouring, it’s nicely citrussy, but in the glass that’s quite subdued, and there’s not much to it. Perhaps a touch of liver.
3+ Pale, slightly hazy, decent frothy white head with reasonable persistence.
6- Simple classic golden ale retronasals. Lots of honey. Alas chalky and minerally too.
3 Slightly sweet palate, but a bit watery. Finish only gently bitter, a little dry and resiny. Late finish a bit citrussy again.
11 A bit uninspired and dull. Nothing technically wrong with it though.

3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Tasted this in the Last Post, Paisley (JDW) in November 2009. Cask, handpump dispense. Crystal clear gold in colour with a thin white head. Dusty lemon hops in the short aroma. Thin resiny mouthfeel and good lacing. Pale malts give a strong citric flavour of grapefruit, lemon peel and gooseberry. Strong dusty hop resins impart a dry astringency to the aftertaste. Finish is again dry and citrusy. Another ok Golden Ale to join the plethora of others.

3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
From Nuneaton Asda. In bottle, none of the proclaimed grapefruit and elderflower whatsoever; rather a wash of lightly buttered pine and soft northern stoniness. Almost still with hushed carbonation and a tang of mineral edge, some chlorine- certainly on the nose. The Saaz is unmistakable but there’s aniseed in there too, maybe from the English. Clear gold; lacy at first, thin white head. Boring as hell but clean and drinkable with an unsophisticated pine needle flavour that keeps you sipping. Alright.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
On cask at The Haymarket. Pours a blonde colour with a thick white head. Aroma of caramel, banana and cloves. Similar flavours with a little lemon, banana smoothie, barley and caramel again. Nice creamy mouth-feel.
