500ml bottle. Pours light golden with a medium head. Mostly caramel malt with a hint of grapefruit hops. Some sweet malt to start and a light bitter finish. Sweet aftertaste. Low carbonation. Would probably be good at a bbq.

Cask at The Wharf, Aalborg. It’s an almost clear beer, a bit pale golden and a little white head on top. Citrus, grass, some butter and pale malts, caramel and crackers in the aroma. The flavor is light buttery with biscuity malts, smooth citrusy and grassy hop profile. Some exotic fruits, but not much bitterness. Medium body, a bit too thin. Some bitterness in the finish. Overall, too buttery, else it’s a nice and quenching. 091025

From cask at Charlies. Pours clear and golden orange with a small white head. Aroma is light fruity hoppy with a mild malt note. Bitter and fruity flavoured. Rather simple. Fruity and bitter dry finish. Vague butterish touch.

Cask conditioned at Charlie’s Pub, Copenhagen
Hazy golden color; small persistent head. It has a very refreshing aroma, a bit citrusy, with some malt and light manure, some hop. Good malty flavor, with a quite round mouthfeel, light and very pleasant residual sweetness; all this is very nice; if possible, the bitterness becomes a bit too harsh at the end. Very good Golden Ale.

Bottle from Sainsbury. Gold, thin ivory head. Some hop on aroma. Some diacetyl to be honest. Yep, definitely buttery. Not sure if its intentional, but I don’t like butter in my beer. Yep, way too buttery.

Bottle from Sainsburys. Golden in colour with a big, off-white head and plenty of carbonation. Aroma of subdued citrus and creamy malts. Flavour was sweet, with a touch of butterscotch, chewy malt and a slightly dry finish. A bit lifeless [2.8]. Re-rate: cask-conditioned at the Saracen’s Head, Worcester, 23/7/2014. Much less sweet, with a hint of balancing minerals and decent, bitter finish. [3.2].

Fresh, light hop aroma. Flavour is light and slightly sweet with a sharper finish. Easy drinking and refreshing.
