Armada Ale was one of the first new 'Golden Ales' that emerged in the 1980s. It has a pronounced yet balanced hop character, derived from Fuggle and Golding hops. Originally commissioned by the National Maritime Museum, it quickly established itself as a piece of living history. Robust, refreshing and still a port of call in any beer-drinker's voyage of discovery.

Cak at Cockney Pub. Creamy white good mostly lasting head. Yellow colour. Light malty and hoppy aroma. Week but nice. Moderate bitter flavor. Average moderate bitter finish. Oily palate and a little too flat.

Bottle, Carringtons, Chorlton. Poured a clear darkish amber colour with the merest of heads. Not a massive aroma, but what there was contained sweet malt and grassy hops. Flavour quite understated and a similar gig to the aroma. Not without some charm but bordering on average.

I wish I had something intelligent to say about this beer, but you see, I was pretty pissed when I drank it. When your pissed and you drink beer, your notes suck. Mine says "mildly bitter" with a 13. Yup, that is what beer does to you and that was RateBeer is actually very ironic phrase that most people probably havenโt thought about. Oh well, nevertheless I have filled in more than the space I need.

Cask-conditioned at the Royal Oak, London SE1 27/1/09. Big thanks to the landlord who went down to the cellar to get me a pint of this one. Bright amber in colour with a decent, lacy off-white head. Fruity aroma with some earthy hops and distinctive Harveyโs yeast. Flavour began with sweet malts, plenty of fruit and a grassy hop finish. Good stuff.

Mail order. Golden yellow with not much carbonation. Very bready, yet light bodied. Not much happening here.

500ml bottle. Pale amber with a small, off-white head but plenty of carbonation. Aroma of floral hops with a hint of caramel. Flavour had some biscuity malt with a buttery edge and a short dry finish. Ok.
