500ml brown bottle, best before Oct 2010, poured in my small ’La Chouffe’ tulip glass three times (on Saturday 21 Aug 2010). Looked a picture, bright golden/light amber body with a lovely snow white foaming crown on top for each pour. Grainy aroma, with a subtle hop presence around too. The flavours blend well, hops dominate the initial taste, but the malts come through as the mouth warms the beer up, only for the hops to win the day as a bitterness arrives as the mouth dries. I like Holden’s beers, they are uncomplicated, honest and very drinkable. I am suprised I haven’t reviewed a few more, because I regularly drink their beers on cask.
