A birthday gift from my parents. Aroma is is malty, citrusy and buttery. Clear copper gold. Frothy white head. Light-medium bitter. Zesty sour edge. Malty sweetness. Buttery. An off note that I can't place. Light. Thin. Average-fizzy carbonation. Dry finish. Not great. Would be a zesty Gold but just had an odd flavour to it.

12/3/2021. Bottle from Cottage Delight, part of a Have a Hoppy Beer-thday Birthday gift pack. Pours clear deep golden with a small creamy white head. Attractive pour. Aroma is sweet, malty, caramel, hoppy, citrus. Medium sweetness, light bitterness. Medium body, oily texture, average carbonation. Nice bittersweet finish. Quite enjoyed this one, certainly more than Birthday Suit.

Bottle “thanks” :) to Niller and shared with the in-laws - pours a clear golden colour with hardly any head. Rough abrasive and overt sweet with notes of rotten veg, harsh rough mouthfeel, eggy plastic notes, flat as a pancake, total drain pour.
