| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 12, 2009 (Draught@Pikkulintu) Hazy golden with a small but lacy and partly lasting head. Citrusy hops dominating the mild aroma. Flavor of lemony sourness and some lactic acid, reasonable bitterness, and balanced with pale maltiness. Almost medium body, medium carbonation, slightly sticky palate. Quite nicely hopped for an English ale, but the slight lactic acidity was a bit of a letdown. Hard to say if it’s built in, or just not at its best. Närke is better with this kind of beers. fonefan (11122), VestJylland, Denmark

Served warm which was a shame, so a bit sweaty sox. I have a bottle in the fridge to re-rate. 3/6 Re-rate from the bottle in the fridge. It’s a decent summer spritzy golden ale. Not big and flashy, but there is enough hop on the end there. I can just imagine Justin’s smile as he sank a bottle of this on a hot day. He’d be pretty happy, and so would I.
