Real Ale (draught) from Bishops Arms, Västra Hamngatan, Gothenburg, Sweden.
The one I had was at 4.2% ABV.
Golden color, no head.Hoppy scent and taste. Medium body, good bitterness.

Pours a hazy gold with an impressive white head. A very pleasant dry and fruity taste. I didn’t want it to ever end.

Bottle. Hazy golden with good head. Aroma of lemons. Light body, fizzy. Malt, lemon and spice flavour with some bitterness in the finish. Nice beer.

bottle 500ml 4,3€ from CM Lohja EXP 210808 Color:murky yellow, nice head taste: fruity, citrus after kick nice hops. Bit grapefruit. Nice and tasty bitter fruity summer drink. It’s shame that maybe high price keeps potential consumers away and best before day is soon. I bought it a week ago!

500 ml bottle. Murky yellow color, white head. Sweet grassy aroma, dry bitter flavor. Not bad at all.

(Cask at White Horse, Parson’s Green, London, 31 July) Colour is golden orange/pale amber with frothy head. Nose is fruity with orange, lemon and notes of grassy hops (a bit soapy). Taste is fruity with mandarin, lemon and the same grassy/soapy hop character. Another refreshing golden.

<i>500 ml bottle from Bieropholie, served at cellar temperature in a tulip glass. BB 07 07 09. DE09/08.</i>

<b>App.</b>: Clear, fairly deep golden, fair white froth. <b>Aroma</b>: Grain, cereal, apples, fruitiness, sweet, almost like a Belgian ale, with some light floral honey and sort of lemony notes, slightly earthy, light caramel. <b>Palate</b>: Medium-ish body and large, soft, sparse bubbles of carbonation. <b>Flav.</b>: Yeasty and earthy-lemony, quite like a Belgian ale again, some leafy earthy hops and light nuttiness, less fruity than the nose; lightly off-dry with some bitterness.

Quite enjoyable, really. I was pleasantly surprised.

oured out a neat hazy bright yellow brew into my glass. Too bad there was almost no head to accompany the brew. The aroma was different than I had expected, thus it turned into a half litre treat. Fruity and fresh with the citrus combo of orange, apricot and lemon and light bready malts. The taste was quite light just like the aroma is. Slight fruit can be found and the hops are finally noticable but mildly flavoured with spice and herb qualities. Light bodied. The light malts character is highlighted by short bursts of bitterness while coming across a bit spritzy. This is drinkable is massive quantities but it does lack a serious defining quality. This doesn’t matter as Yellow Hammer is plain ol’ good.

Bottle. BB4 Oct 23, 2008. Very thin head. Gold beer. Aroma of melon, pineapple and flowers. Nice taste of fruit and hops. Melon, citrus and a hint of pineapple. Hops winning out. Peppery edge and finish.
