Superb golden ale from the Maes brewery. Clear gold, strong complex flavours with a dry aftertaste. Not to heavy in body and quite lively. Should suit the British palate well. Best served in it's own glass. 8,5% alc. Serving temperature 16 •c

Pure white frothy head stayed well on a light golden, still body. Yeasty fruit aroma with candied sweets & slight hints of citrus. Medium body on the palate, slightly thin on the aft. Feels smooth with minimal carbonation. Great tangy taste with sweet citrus, yeast, boiled sweets, cloves & slightly floral.

330ml bottle from the Cheese & Wine shop, Darlington. Pours a golden colour with a good sized white foam head leaving lots of lacing. Fruity & yeasty aroma. Taste is grain, fruity & yeasty, with some banana & milky notes, plus slightly metallic bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry boozy finish. Quite drinkable.

Bottle shared in London - many thanks to Daniel. Pours totally clear gold with a frithy, white head. Rich doughy bread in the nose, faint butterscotch, light yeast. Medium to heavy sweet flavor, creamy and sugary, some yeast, doughy white bread. Full bodied with with fine to average carbonation. Lightly warming on the finish, a little boozy, with notes of apple sauce, doughy bread, pale grains. Pretty so so.

Bottle thanks to Dirty D. It pours clear golden - amber with a thick white head. The aroma is sweet, white bread, cheap grain, buttered white bread and cereal. The taste is crisp, sweet, cheap white head, banana, candy, cereal, grainy, alcohol boost and some tang with a sweet, bready finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. A bit sweet and bready. Good to get boosted I spose, but I wouldn’t drink this on the reg.

Bottle at Bespin, thanks to DD, 21/03/16. Golden with a moderate off White covering. Nose is yeast, buttered popcorn, straw, cereal, grain. Taste comprises sweet malt, grain, caramel, residual sugar. Medium + bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a boost factor. Sweet and buttery, vague citric interplay, not great.
