Toast to mother nature's kitchen with this golden harvest ale. Rich golden colour, spicy aromas, clean dry crisp start then 'sherbet lemon' finish.

(Bottle 50 cl) The world’s first organic beer? Hmm, I believe I’ve heard that claim be made before by another brewery, but I suppose it could be true. Beautiful orangey golden, slightly hazy with a small yet present head. Quite malty with an underlying sweetness - well balanced with the hops. Very fruity and excellent if not excactly spectacular. 181004

Cask at the Ipswich Beer Festival 2004, gravity dispense. Golden colour. Flowery and candy-like aroma. Light bodied. Would benefit from a cooler serving temperature than was the case at the IBF. Flavour is moderately hoppy, would no doubt be refreshing if served cooler. As it was, it lacked some "freshness". Dry finish. BTW, it’s organic - "suitable for vegans" = no animals killed for the purpose of brewing this beer. Nice to know before you order your plate of bangers & mash.

An orange beer with a disappering head. The aroma is dominated by elderflower. The flavor is dry malty with notes of hops and elderflower.

Light amber; sweet, malty, light. I will say that I've never seen the appeal of Golden Promise - it just is not Maris Otter.
