A very pale, crisp beer, with a hoppy character. A fruity aroma and a pleasant, light taste.

Nice yellow to golden colour, hence the name i guess. Smells like pilsener malts. Tastes like a bitter pilsener. Quite dry, active and bitter.

Cask at Cockney Pub, Århus, as Hooky Norton Golden Ale, 4.8% ABV
Hazy blond color, thin creamy head. Grassy aroma, earthy; not strong but pleasant. Good dry toffee flavor, with good hopping, lightly fruity. Very pleasant.

Clear golden color, almost no head, slightly lacing. Smells like pilsener and a little bitter. Taste slightly citrus, dry and bitter. Decent.

Cask. Pours an almost clear golden with a dense off-white head leaving excellent laces. A little sweet malt and fruit in the nose. Medium body, low carbonation, fruity and minerally with a dry and hoppy finish atop a light sweetness. A pleasant quaffer. 190111

(bottle) Clear, golden colour with a blond medium-sized foamy head. Fruity hoppy aroma with notes of lemon, orange zests and tangerines. Moderately bitter flavour, light bodied with a mild carbonation. Soft malty base with fruity and bitter-zesty hoppy notes; dry and moderately bitter and fruity hoppy finish with a tinge of malty sweetness. Aromatic and easy-going Ale. 10.XII.10

500ml bottle, thanks to Finn for sharing. Cloudy golden body to a bubbly, lasting white head. Aroma of fruity hops. Smooth fruity taste and a dry bitter ending. Average (Tromsø, 27.10.2010).

Flaske 0,5l fra K/Marked i Rovaniemi og delt med Rune og Cinnamongirl. Lys gulbrun. Lavt skum. Frisk fruktig aroma. Smaken har et visst søtt fruktig preg med en fruktig ettersmak.
