Minimal head and clear copper body. Soft smell of brown sugar. Flavour is mellow malts and hints of sweet bread. Dry finish. Unspectacular.

Tap at Prince of Wales. St Peters Port. Pours dark copper with a tan head. Malty aroma. Med body. Flavor is hoppy and malty. Maybe a bit spicy. Refreshing after a long walk to and through Castle Cornet.

Keg at the Yacht Inn, St Peter’s Port Guernsey. It pours clear amber with a thick off-white head. The nose is soft, sweet fruits, apple, honey, caramel and preserved lemon. The taste is crisp, clean, bitter, lemony citrus, brown bread, wood, toasty grain and leather with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. As keg golden bitters go its alright. Not bad.

Keg, halfpint, as Randall’s Monty’s, at The Last Post, Guernsey. Copper colour, low white head. Moderate aroma, some caramel and nuts. Distinctly nutty flavour, also caramel, but not very sweet. Moderate hops in the finish, some bitterness in the aftertaste. For a keg ale, this is not too bad.

Tap @ The Yacht Inn, St. Peter Port. Smooth and slightly bitter beginning. Fresh, but not too sweet. Easy to drink with on the one hand nice malty bitter aroma, on the other a slightly sweetish Golden Ale taste. The aftertaste is smooth, slightly bitter, malty with sweetish Golden Ale hints.
--> Interesting combination of Bitter and Golden Ale!

Bottled. Golden colour, small white foamy head. Aroma is fruity, crisp maltyness, some nectar as well as some slight bittery notes. Flavour is fruits, mild herbs, some nectar and mild earthyness as well. Quite biting carbonation.
