Bottle from Hogs Back Brewery Shop. Down as Specialy Grain but is it just another fool's Gold? Certainly on appearance it is - clear gold. Thin foamy translucent white head. Aroma has light citrus, malts and boiled veg. Flavourwise it's... bad. Bitter and tart sourness over veg soup and sweaty socks. Light. Thin. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Awful Gold with gluten free grains.

Old rating from 02-06-15 - 500ml bottle brought on my UK road trip, poured at home in Jersey. It's pale golden with a tiny white head. Aromas & tastes of citrus, grain, grass, hints of spice & malt. Moderate body & carbonation. Mildly bitter finish. Passably drinkable

Bottle from House of Trembling Madness. Brewed with maize. A new style tick for me. Pours a pale gold, medium sized white head. Aroma of lemon and lime, grains, dust. Taste of sweet grainy malts, light citrus sharpness, flora, lacks a crisp bitter bite in this lager like beer. Light bodied but has a certain smoothness, easy drinking. Its ok.

Rocky white head stayed on pale golden coloured body. Sweet, malt & stone fruit aroma. Medium bodied, smooth & ending with a sharp clean back. Sweet, peach, floral, light malt & lightly hoppy tastes with a rather limp finish. Easy going.

Bottle. Blonde. Grainy aroma with hay and hints of apple. Low on carbon. Grainy flavor, grassy. Apple and plastic. Soft sour and bitter notes. Hint of licorice. Weird.
