2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pleasant hoppy, citrusey, aroma. The citrus is too strong in the taste though, giving it a slightly odd twang. Not a great golden ale by any stretch. Small head which quickly dissipates.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
50 cL clear bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a small white head. Aroma is mild hayish to grassy herbal hops. Vague citrusy touch. Bitter, herbal and yet slight sweet toasted malt base. Bitter and dry finish, light fruity.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Good golden color, and a very malty, hoppy nose that reminds of caramel. Taste is slight lemon, citrus malt, with a crisp, dry finish. More of a refreshment, hot-day ale. Can be habit forming!
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
(bottle) Clear, deep golden colour with a medium-sized and slightly off-white foamy head. Slightly perfumed malty nose with traces of cara-malt and subtle citric hops. Moderately bitter flavour, light to medium bodied with a moderate carbonation. (Cara-)malty, subtle grainy taste with shy citric and spicy hops; moderately dry and slightly bitter hoppy finish with delicately fruity and spicy accents. Rather unexciting. 25.X.10
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
A solid and drinkable ale. The aroma mild but pleasant, earthy hops. The flavour leans on the bitter side, with a discernable balancing caramel sweetness, especially on the finish. Unremarkable but enjoyable.
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
500ml bottle. Pours golden with a small head. Aroma is skunky, some butter and citrus. Not much to taste. Medium bitter finish.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle. Thin white head, clear dark gold, effervescence. Honey, grass, pine, hops dominate, biscuit backbone, spice, floral. Bitter. A little oily, moderate carbonation, dry finish.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle at the Hand 1/8/08. Very citric hop nose with loads of lemon and sweet malty after tones. Deep golden/amber colour, thin creamy head, some lace. Very quaffable. Light citric flavour, nice bitter finish. Quite balanced. Too fizzy mouthfeel.
2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Burning gold colour with no lacing or real head from the bottle. Slight zesty aroma, with a citrus slightly bitter malt taste. Slight sweet tang, but crispy and bitter in the finish. Ok for a refreshing summer beer but nothing spectacular.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
A great looking bottle! Overall, a nice refreshing beer, suitable for spring time on the patio.
