2016 catch up - A drinkable golden beer, but not one that stands out from the rest of the pack. Some bitter hops, malt and a low level of carbonation.

Bottle at home in London - sourced via Ocado. Pours totally clear, light gold with a foamy, white head. The nose holds lightly toasted pale malts, nips of leafy hops, a little citrus peel. Light-medium sweet flavour with simple pale, bready malt character, impressions of citrus, pale grains, leaves, biscuits. Light bodied with average carbonation. Easygoing finish, light grassy and leafy bitterness, more pale and lightly toasted malts, subtle orange, a little English yeast. Enjoyable, basic beer.

Bottle from Waitrose and drunk at home. Clear amber colour with thick lasting beige head. A golden bitter really. Having had the regular bitter yesterday, this is about the same but with some slightly less brown malty flavour and less peppery bitter on the end. Good standard golden bitter though. Some biscuit in the malts, some bitter sting on the finish.

500ml bottle from local supermarket. Amber with a white head. The Aroma is fruity, and the taste is too, with an earthy bitterness and a touch of citrus.

Kupfer, malzig, weich und leicht. Typisch Ale-Bitter, etwas süßlich. Nett aber nicht umwerfend.

Copper amber coloured, next to no head but has a lovely smooth texture in the palate. Has a slightly grainy character but its bitterness is also evident.

50 cl bottle @ home. Rated on 18.03.2010
Aroma is slightly sweet with toffee, some English hops and hints of honey. Flavour is sweetish with toffee, English hops, hay, some honey, biscuits and caramel. Not my kind of ESB.

Brown 500ml bottle, best before 2nd Nov 2010, drank and reviewed on a bright, sunny but chilli Sunday afternoon, 24th Oct 2010. Poured into an ’abbot Ale’ tankard: light orange/golden amber in colour with a good solid head od foaming bubbles on top. The beer showed a slight haze and bubbles ambled up through the beer to the head all through the tasting. Fuggles are used, but although I could taste them, their presence in the aroma was minimal. There wasn’t much malt content in the smell either, in fact there was very little smell to talk about. The taste was a pleasant blend of hops and malts, evenly distributed in a well balanced way. Sweetish upfront with a refreshing hop bite in each sip. The 4.7% ABV is evident as the beer warms in the glass, but doesn’t effect the flavours too much, just adds an extra dimension to them.
