(bottled) Good hoppy nose; creamy mouth , with unity between fruity hops and mild malt sweetness. Very easy to sink. Bottling something delicate like this is probaly tough , so this would ovbiously be even more vibrant cask. Nice .

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle from M&S St Pancras. Lager and Maris Otter malts. Pale gold with thin lasting white head. Typical Crouch Vale grassy hop aroma. Good in mouth. Fullish and lovely tangerine orange fruit on finish. It’s a decent grassy golden ale with a very good finish, but Crouch Vale don’t seem to have kicked on from Brewers Gold. It’s a rather delicious summer gold beer with lager drinkability. Subtles and decent. Finish is good though.

3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottled, 500ml from M&S, Summertown, Oxon. Gold with white head. Initially quite bubbly, carbonated, but it settled down to quite a fresh tasting beer, light malts with a tangy hop character, lemony, lagery just with a little more depth. Nicely made beer and definitely worth a try.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
06.08.2010, 0,5l Bottle bought in York, UK - Thanks Trine my dear wife! The label says this is a "Seasonal guest". Golden yellow colour. Clear with a thin layered white head. Aroma is dominated by hops and bitterness. There is not to much malt, and flavour and aroma is secured by a nice hoppiness. Lively carbonated. Bitter lasting aftertaste.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Golden and clear with a small head.Some citrus and quite crispy.
Easy to drink but nothing outstanding.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Not a lot to say about this one over than gentle grapefruit, atouch of sweetness and decent, dry finish. A good bottled English beer for a change.
