Creamy-headed and softly glowing this liquid gold is quintessential drink for reminiscing the golden days of the past. With every sip the cherished, bitter-sweet memories (but OK, more sweet than bitter, as this ale is) spring to mind. A perfect glass to toast a journey down the memory lane or a great accompaniment for making new memories to enjoy later. A bit of US hops helps to balance malty character of this beer.

330ml bottle from Beautiful Beers, Bury St Edmunds and drunk at home. Mid- to dark gold and clear with a light film and ring of off-white head. Light, sugary aroma, some pomelo, some bready notes. There’s a pleasant almost pancake syrup sweetness to the initial sip, but this parts to reveal a fruity bitterness which nestles in for a long finish. Light body with medium carbonation. Not really true to the style but a lovely little beer.

33cl bottle from Chez Sophie: bottled on 18th January 2022 and drank in my home bar on 29th April 2022. Clean golden amber body, white topping. I didn't get any coriander others have mentioned, nor did it appear to have that Belgian yeasty feel that typifies that style. I did however really enjoy it's semi-sweet maltiness and subtle citrus flavour as it warmed in the glass.

330ml bottle, thanks to djoeye for sharing. A bright golden body, covering white head, spotty lacing. Moderate smell of herbal hops with a citric bite. Saison fruity flavours added by pale malts, and lightly spiced. Rounded malt-fruity finish. Medium plus bodied. Quite alright. (PivotekaH7 rating session with djoeye and Finn, Tromsø 22.09.2020).

Clear, deeper golden colored, small+ white frothy head, not that lasting. Aroma is of malt, fruity esters, some spicy yeasty notes, caramel, some diacetyl. Taste is medium+ sweet malt, caramel, plenty of estery notes, bit yeasty, light spice, even more diacetyl, medium spicy and herbal bitterness, some biscuit, bit of veggies also. Medium bodied, average carbonation, oily. Feels like something went awry in a generally OK brew.
