550 ml. Bottle purchased for take away from Brewdog Camden. This spend some time in the cellar, so I assume that this is the 2011 Version. Bright golden with spotty white head. Smell is sweet cheese from the sorachi ace, less blue chess in this one just sweeter yellow cheese, butter in a good way, not from infections etc. golden fields of barley, sweet sugar summer fruit. Sweet yellow cheese Sorachi ace taste blended with some floral touches, sweeter punch fruits with sugar, white wine grapes, fields of barley, soft fruits, good way butter, light bitter spice in the back. Appears to have lost some potency and body with age but still very lovely and original.

550 mL bottle with a "10.09" date. Pours a slightly clouded golden with a white head. Muted aroma hinting at citrus, herbs and spices. Flavor is pretty nice, with a very distinctive herbal quality that I can’t place, but I like it. I want to kind of say it’s kind of a buttery lemon oregano and parsley. Yeah, that’s exactly what it is, actually. Other herbal, spicy, pine hops. I’m a fan.

Bottle from CP&K at home. It pours straw yellow, with a foamy white head. The nose is hay, straw, herbal, orange and nectarine. The taste is herbal, fennel, straw, hay, bubblegum, umami, citrus pith and some alcohol warmth, with a big, dry finish. Medium body and moderate, prickly carbonation. A bit odd, but refreshing.

Bottle, split 3 ways, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma of bready malt, light citrus and wheat. Flavour is pretty mellow, with bready malts, mild citrus, wheat, with some light lemon notes. Pretty mild and restrained, but refreshing and balanced. Good for the style, though obviously nothing extraordinary.

Tan, cloudy, only a thin layer of bubbles. Herbal, floral and a little bit perfumey in the aroma. Tastes a little bit oxidized with moderate bitterness and more of that floral, perfumey stuff.

On tap at Bierkraft, Brooklyn, New York, NY. A golden coloured pour with a small white head on top. Hoppy, citrus fruit aroma. Tastes citrus fruit, tropical fruit, some honey, slightly hoppy. Not bad.

55 cl bottle @ hotel room, Kyoto. Bottled 06/2011, BBE 06/2012
Rather weird and stale aroma with some ash and sweetish honey. No hints of hops whatsoever. Flavour is hoppy and a bit weird. It is stalish with artifical honey aroma, some flowery spices and citrus. Also hints of ash and metal. Rather weird golden ale, more full-bodied and sweet than goldens usually.
