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...

660ml bottle from Asda. Crystal clear copper/amber colour, lasting thick beige head. Some hop, some caramel on this standard bitter, bit of boiled sweet too. Some citrus hops which are a bit earthy and very English. OK standard bitter.

660 ml clear bottle, courtesy of Cardinal pub, Stavanger. ABV is 4.2%. Deep golden colour, large to moderate lasting head. Moderate but pleasant hoppy aroma (Styrian Goldings), hints of toffee. Decent hops, toffee, walnuts and some fruity sweetness in the flavour. Moderate hops in the finish, I’d like some more "bite" there. Mouthfeel is maybe a bit thin? A drinkable beer, but not "big" enough in any way to deserve the name "Goliath".

(Bottle 66 cl) 4.7% ABV in my version. Very pretty, clear amber with a nice, solid beige head. Very soft and smooth ale, with some slightly citric notes and a weak bitterness. Some fruit, some caramel - all very standard, but OK. 050603

Clear amber color, good creamy off-white head, lace. Oaky-woody Styrian hops in the dry nose. Lightly hoppy, watery, oaky. Faint late bitterness and toffee notes. Light bitter, but the big bottle is good for sessions :)
