Can from Beer Republic Advent Calendar, 16/12. Aroma is malty, doughy, earthy. Slightly bitter edge. Clear copper gold. Thin foamy white head. Light-medium bitter. Grainy. Slightly metallic. Doughy and citrusy and some sweetness and a dab of sourness. Sida water element to the finish. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft-average carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. I was not enthused to pull a Golden Ale out of the package and this is definitely not an interesting beer but at least they've excluded twigs from the recipe.

Can Day 16, Loz's Beer Republic Advent Calendar, Monday 16th December 2024, listening to ByteFM. We had Beef Carbonnade Pies with Potato Croquettes, Carrots and gravy. Pours mid gold with a mid sized white head. Soft mouthfeel, easy drinking but it's a bit non descript, absolutely fine, it's a reasonable beer but for Drake's, btw a brewery that I like I was hoping for more. Straightforward, clean, light fruity, there is a little buzz. Not amazing but after Loz gave this short shrift I've come to the conclusion that it's better than I expected, it's a grower.
