Very hazy amber beer, decent cream colour head. Palate is light with a mild minerally crispness. Thin malts, trace of tangy caramel and just a modicum of sweetness. Hops bring pretty mild orange and marmalade. Whispers of lemon and floralness. Light finish. Mild peel bitterness lingers on. A clean beer but a little underwhelming.

Bottle from BottleDog London and drunk at home. Hazy amber colour lasting ivory head. Odd aroma, slightly meaty? But then settles down in the mouth, some biscuit from the malt. For me the Golden Ales from BBNo. are more like bitters now. Certainly maltier. The Junga hop is an oddity. Here it’s leafy and yes a little bit like chicken liver pate. But in a good way. Interesting. Good mouthfeel. Ok bitterness on the finish. Hmmmm. Odd but ok.

Bottle at home in London - picked up at the brewery yesterday. Pours mostly clear, burnished gold with a frothy white head. There’s a ripe citrus note in the aroma, some dirty hay, pale bread. Light-medium sweet with notes of tangerine, berries, earth, slight grass, mild bready sweetness, just a hint of caramel. Light bodied with average carbonation. Lightly resinous on the finish with subtly toasted pale malts, accents of marmalade, other ripe citrus, bitter grass. Great stuff overall, and a nice introduction to ’Junga’. I like the characteristics of this hop.
