2.4 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
On tap at the National Brewery Centre
The tap selection here was not great so given four "free" samples I chose to go with the new ticks. I am glad since I would not normally purchase Worthingtons after this. There are worse beers on the planet. Conversely there are many more great beers instead.
Aroma / Appearance - The golden clear base is carbonated and generic. Lemon zest, light hops, and not much else attempt to keep one’s attention. They don’t very well.
Flavor / Palate - Lemon and watery malts come in each sip. The minimal bitterness does not provide much time for reflection. This might as well have been anything with alcohol for the amount of flavor and depth. Still, at least it could have been worse.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Aroma is yeast, fruit and slightly gritty/earthy/grainy. The flavor is fruit/berries, malts, very mild sweetness and a mildly tart finish.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle by 15 MAR 14. Nose is mildly fruity with a touch of biscuit/wheat in the nose. Golden pour with a soapy whitish head. Taste with the subtle stroke of lemony citrus, faint bread, a little dash of yeast, a touch sour and bland, a bit airy. Blackcurrant nudges only realize with volume in the yeast scratching the back of the palate and throat -- but they’re quite nice. Medium body relatively smooth, there’s a lot of boredom in the first few sips but I think this would work fine as a session.

22 oz bomber pours a clear gold with fizzy white head. Wheat aroma. Pretty flat beer.

Clear light golden color, no hazing. Full white head. Unique aroma of sweet grass and clover and dry sherry. Light body, yet smooth mediummouthfeel. Almost like a cream ale. Sort of sweet, then a touch of hops dancing throughout. Not complex, refrshing easy drinker. Biscuit flavor with a small touch of citrus and grass.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle from b&m, Blaydon. A hazy golden coloured beer that explodes out of the bottle with a large foamy head. It has toffee and peppery hop flavours with a sweet warming fruity finish.
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle conditioned and this one is quite gassy. Fruity sweetness in aroma and taste. Mild hops, not really a bitter one. Overall too thin and gassy.
0.9 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 2/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 2/20
From bottle. Deep gold in color. White foam. Pretty much no aroma at all. Not good. Dont waste your money.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
500 ml bottle. Poured a slightly cloudy orange/amber body with a bubbly off white head. Aroma is not that good,notes of raw dough, bad old dark fruit and some banana. Fizzy lively carbonation and a medium to watery body. Flavor is about as good as the aroma but different. Dry bread and crusts along with nut shells and dried out citrus rinds. It’s sucks just like I thought it would.
