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.

Bottle from Waitrose. #4 MJ 500 beer of this 2019 summer trip. Medium gold with a tall, fine head. Nose is lightly citrus hops, bit of bread, touch of cardboard and pear. Lightly spicy hops. Rather plain. Falvor is lemony, almost a touch of candy in there, tart from the hops. Some white bread and sweetness. interesting hops. Prickly, lightly bitter finish. Rather fizzy, lager-like. Ok but certainly not all that profound. This was probably one of the first wave of UK golden ales that went for the lager market, but it has been surpassed abundantly by this time. Not up there with Summer Lightning even, I would say. Still drinkable but would not be in anyone's 500 today.

Fra cask på The Badger, Ganton street Soho, nov-18: klar gylden med kort, storboblet skum. Mild aroma og smak med jordaktige toner, milde krydderurter, appelsinkjeks og et hint av pære. Mildt krydret avslutning. Forgettable.
