Pours a light golden colour with a white head. A nice grassy smell with citric hints. A bitter hop taste, but balanced with some nice juicey flavours. A lingering slightly sweet after-taste. A nice pale ale.

Bottled. Amber colour, rich firm head. Yeasty grassy nose. Sweet and medium bodied. Some honey. Lingering grassy finish.

Bottle. Pours an amber colour with a longlasting off-white head. Malty aroma with some fruitiness and hints of hops. Sweet malty flavor with some fruity hints. Weak hints of apples and honey. Long malty finish with a medium bitterness.

Bottle picked up from Teso 23-04-06. I couldn’t agree more with the previous poster, whilst I cannot find much to fault with Black Sheep beers, I also find very little praiseworthy in them, ok, it’s copper coloured, bitter, malty etc but they are the beer equivalent of a warbler, i.e. difficult to distinguish from a multitude of other similar specimens.

500ml bottle from Tesco. Quite clearly this is copper coloured, so not sure why it is called Golden. Thin off white head. Nice white flesh fruit aroma. Apple and peach are distinguishable. Bit of fartyness as well. Bit thin and tinny in mouth with too much carbonation. Shame this is pasteurised and too carbonated, because it could have been a good bitter. Finish has some tingly hop and more orchard fruit, but frankly I can?t get over that mouthfeel and the metallic deadness 2.4/5 re rate. Ok golden bitter
