Bottled 330ml. -from Pivoteka Zagreb. Clear golden coloured, small white to off-white head, slightly perfumed citrusy hops in the nose. Sweet malty, biscuity, caramel, light citrusy hoppy and touch of honey with mild bitterish finish. One of the better British golden ales I’ve tried in last couple of months.

(Bottle, 5.3 % ABV - 0.33 l - BB 30.11.15, at Silja Symphony, 20151026) The beer poured golden and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had fruitiness, grass and herbalness. Palate was medium bodied and annoyingly fizzy. Flavours were fruitiness, grass, sweetness, malts and bitterness. Aftertaste was fruity, malty and bitter. A rather promsing aroma but too mediocre taste, and poor drinkability because of the excessive fizziness.

33cl bottle from SuperAlko, Tallinn. Pours deep golden with a thin white head, low carbonation. Aroma has butterscotch, citrusy notes and some floral notes. Flavor has butterscotch, citrus and the same floral thing. Feels thin. Lightly hopped, not much sign of Citra and Chinook here.

Color moscatel. Espuma escasa. Aroma muy fuerte. Cítrico, pomelo, naranja... Mantiene en boca, con predominante presencia en boca donde aparece la uva, que se mantiene hasta el postgusto. El predominio aromático lo compensa cierto tono acaramelado... escondido porque estamos ante una pale ale más cercana a estilos APA (o incluso IPA) americanos. En cualquier caso, bien rica.

330ml bottle - Pale gold body, thin short lived white head. Aroma is a light citrus hoppiness with a touch of grain. Taste has a hint of grapefruit and pine resin with a gentle tropical fruitiness. Finish is quite bitter, and fairly drying at the very end, with an aftertaste of melons curiously enough.

Pale blond with light haze. Citrusy aroma. Especially lime. Flavour is very fresh and zesty. It’s hoppy but not especially bitter making it a good session beer.

At a tasting, smallish bubbly head, clear dark gold color, aroma of dried apricots, honey and a hunt of citrusy hopes, flavor of stale hops, candy and hints of light caramel, medium bitterness. Too old, not good.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Stas’s place. Thanks Stas. Clear deep golden. Stale hops aroma with a bit of honey-ish malt. Sweetish flavor with slightly honey-ish malt, stale hops and some bitterness. Light to medium-bodied.

Bottle shared with JMD at HNB 26.12.14. Very clear, pale golden. Small and diminishing white head. Marmelade and citrus in aroma. Artifically fruity bonbon in both aroma and taste. Not great.
