1st February 2010
Clear gold beer, small white head. Light palate, very light and a tad soft. Light creamy malt - somewhat lagerish with a fairly subtle floral tone that feels a bit artificial. Finishes soft, creamy and with some lactose sweetness. Drinkable but disappointing. Was expecting something more rich.

July 2009: Yet another bottled beer by Badger, Hall and Woodhouse. This one is supposed to be Dandelion flavoured (the name gives it away somewhat). My brown 500ml bottle had plenty of life left in it according to its Best By Date. I poured it into a straight sided UK pint glass. Light orange in colour, well carbonated, with a white head (at first). A slight haze to the body, but not clouldy or murky. Floral aroma, sweet peas and cut grass, no hop or malt nose I could detect. More fizz than flavour, maybe some malt in the taste, but I couldn’t find any Danelion. Sweeter than most UK ales, but not over the top, just a suggestion of ripe honey melons. Not unpleasant, but not a world beater for me, just an average beer. Organic beers are fine, but I am sure it restricts the brewer sometimes and I think the overal result in this beer is to lessen its depth and character.

Bottled. A dark golden beer with a lazing beige head. The aroma has notes of dusty hops on a malty background. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and spices - it must be the dandelion that to me make up the spice-note. The finish is bitter.

500ml bottle. Pours golden with no head. Looks like a can of Fosters. Aroma is sweet malt, honey and, I’m guessing, dandelion. Crisp bite on the finish with a floral aftertaste.
