2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20Cask (gravity dispense) at Wandsworth Common Beer Festival @ Le Gothique on 25 March 2011 (noted at 4.0%). Amber colour - Golden Cap is a hill/cliff in Dorset and not a reference to the beer. I also picked up "baked beans" in the aroma, as I did with the same brewer’s What Ho Ginger that I tried immediately before. Some lasting, moderately bitter hops on the palate. Dry mouthfeel. Ended up quite drinkable. Shame about the beans though.

2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle. A clear, golden beer topped by a minimal sized off-white head. Weak, lightly malty and fruity nose with some hints of dried apricots and grass. Boring flavor with a little bitterness towards the end. Fruityness and biscuity malts as well. Medium to thin on the palate, rather flat. An uninteresting beer that certainly doesn’t taste bad. 120623

2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle form Corks, Bristol. I second the "baked beans" comment below. This really marred this beer. Aside from that there were some bread malts, a touch of fruity sweetness and a moderately bitter finish. Sadly, a struggle to finish.
