Bottle from Wine Rack. Pours a clear golden colour with a thin soapy looking white head. Aromas of biscuits and toasty bread. Taste is again very biscuity, more toasty bread, a touch of caramel and a touch of spice. Earthy hop finish. Medium body with a smooth oily mouthfeel. Ok but a bit boring and bland.

0.5l bottle. Many thanks to Lore for another MJ500 rating. Clear golden body with a white head. Pears dominate the aroma, but I also get some grainy malts, cardboard a tiny bit of floral hops. Taste of grains, pears, apples and floral hops. There is a bit of sourness in the finish that is not so nice. Otherwise it's fine.

Strangely always thought this was a brown bitter, but it pours a nice clear pale gold with a frothy white head, and a slightly fruity aroma. The taste is all about light biscuit malt, with hints of grape and melon. The mouthfeel is pretty smooth, and the finish is dry with a touch of bitterness

500ml bottle. Good golden pour with white head. Aroma of malt, grain, hay and a slight hint of sweet fruit at the end. A disappointingly uncomplicated malt cereal flavour with a bitter not at the end. Not much going on at all. Compared to this breweries ‘Badger Golden Champion’ ale this is a real disappointment. Its ok though but wouldn’t recommend.

Pours clear, darker golden. Small, fairly creamy, relatively stable white head. Smell is malty, aromatic ( bready ) with a mild sweet ( fruity ) impression by the hops, rather than actual sugar or something, I guess. Touch of metallic. Taste is full, malty, somewhat bitter. Typical English maltyness and hops. Creamy finish, with a nice balance between malts and hops. Not as metallic as expected from the scent. Easy drinkin' , typical UK Ale. Mild spicyness from the hops as well.
