This light golden beer delivers both flavour and refreshment, brewed using the finest pale malts, and the rare Galaxy hop to give a light golden colour, subtle tropical fruit notes and a deliciously smooth finish. Old Golden Hen is perfect for all occasions and best served chilled. Available at 4.1% ABV in 500ml bottles and cask.

Bottle from my local off-licence ‘Wine Rack’. Pours a clear golden colour with a medium sized throthy white head. Aromas of toffee, caramel and light citrus notes. Taste has more toffee and caramel, a little bready with more pronounced citrusy lemon coming through. Low bitterness and sweetish finish. Thin to medium body with a smooth slightly oily mouthfeel. Quite nice.

14/8/2020. Cask at the Hill House, Happisburgh. Pours dark golden with a small bubbly white head. Aroma of straw, fruit, hops, touch of herbs and spiced orange. Medium sweetness and moderate bitterness. Moderate body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Light spicy finish. Not the worst GK experience.

Bottle BBE in 12 months. Gold with a frothy good sized head. Aroma of citrus especially mango as well as malts. Low carbonation and light to medium body. Taste of citrus but mostly malt. A bitter sweet finish, a touch dry. A little disappointed at first as it's quite simple but it's actually quite moorish, very sessionable. I wished I had another in the fridge.

Bottle via Lidl SK. Galaxy actually shines here 'or would shine, if it was not eclipsed by the completely catastrophic lightstruck skunkiness. Merely popping the cap was enough to get a generous amount of skunk up my nose. There is really no way around it - it ruins this beer. Otherwise thin body, med-high carbonation. Seems really clean despite that one big skunk bomb. Drinkable despite everything. Cask must be great. Bottle is shit.

Bottle from the local Lidl. Deep gold with a thin, frothy white head. Aroma full of overripe pear and grass. Pleasant and better than I‘d hoped for. Taste is simple and mildly bitter throughout. A light mango/pear aftertaste at the end. Medium body, decent feel in the mouth even if a touch watery. Decent.

20-08-19 // bottle fro mthe local LIDL. Better than expected. Clear golden. Smells cheap maltish, lightstruck. Taste is actually solid. Mild tropical hop aromas. Mild bitterness. But some sweetish malts aswell. Good for some gardening work.
