Goliath: The Beer to slay a mighty thirst.
A full bodied & robust ruby bitter brewed with Pale & Crystal Malts, with a rich malty taste & a hefty wack of Fuggles & Goldings hops, just the beer to slay that thirst...

(bottle) Clear, amber colour with a medium-sized tanned foamy head. Sweet cara-malty aroma with notes of toffee and a mildly citric hoppy blend. Moderately bitter flavour delicate malty sweetness, light bodied with a calm carbonation. Cara-malty and slightly fruity hoppy taste with a slightly woody touch towards the dry and slim finish. Decent. 24.I.11

Bottle. Fruity aroma with caramel, some grass, earth, maybe cherries. Medium copper color with a creamy head. Light flavor, rather sweet and fruity, with citus and caramel and earthy hops. A bit bland. Finish is unremarkable—not very bitter. Rather flat body too. Ok, doesn’t taste bad, but not very interesting.

0.5L bottle, medium stable head, crystal clear dark rusty orange colour with lightish brown streaks. strong herbal hoppy aroma with some earthy notes and a hint of vanila. Strong hoppy bitterness with some malty and fruity notes. Rather short sour aftertase. great thirst quencher like is said on the back label, a bit like a pilsener.

Red-brown beer with medium blonde head. Aroma is overally malty and sweet, lot of red berries and redcurrants. Flavour is similar than aroma, sweet, lot of red berries, and some hops in the end. Quite easy and light to drink, but still pleasant. Good beer without anything weird nuancees and also there are some personality with lot of red berries and redcurrants.

Dark amber, approaching copper. Persistent small head.Aroma shows floral and spicy hop notes, sweet caramel malt as well as some toffee. Diacetyl in the background. Good, but I would have liked a little more hops.Equally malty flavours, lots of sweet caramel. Unfortunately the finish is really weak, with an off-putting timid bitterness.Good medium body, but a little too much carbonation.

[500ml bottle, gift from my Mum & Dad - cheers!] Don’t know where they got the 500ml bottle, as when I’ve seen this it’s been 660ml. Pours amber, slight white head. Slight to moderate fizz. Smells of malt with some metals. Initial taste gives a huge fruity rush (apple?) and lots of caramel, but this swiftly degenerates into over-the-top, greasy, mouthcoating butteriness with little balancing bitterness. It is at least different to your average bitter, but unfortuantely not in a good way. Glad it was just 500ml...
