Beer Flight choice, from the keg menu at the Hanging Bat. Crystal clear golden body. Diminishing white head. Half dry nose of noble hops and earthy malts. Pale malty taste with grass-fruity notes behind. Smooth ending, oily palate. Refreshing lager. Nice partner to the food (Edinburgh 11.08.2013).

Aroma: Very clean aroma of straw and faint citrus.
Appearance: Clear golden body with no head. Very light carbonation. No lacing marks.
Taste: Clean, lightly fruity taste. No metallic harshness like you get with most mass produced lagers.
Palate: Thin to medium body with a slightly oily mouthfeel. Soft carbonation.
Overall: About as good as a lager can be - clean, crisp and refreshing. The absence of additives you get in mass produced lagers makes this a good example of the style.

Bottle @ Red Squirrel
Golden, clear, good frothy white head
Aroma - light pale malt, soft spicy sazz hops, soft sweet malts, very light citrus
Taste - as aroma, nice sweet light caramel golden malts, soft spicy hops, really good tasting lager
Palate - medium carb and body, soft bitter light sweet caramel malts. Finish as main flavour = soft spicy hops, no metal or harsh crap like other lagers
Overall - Not a fan of lagers but I really enjoyed this - itโs a super example of the style. Didnโt seem like a golden ale to me when out of the bottle.

Bottle: Almost clear, pale greenish-golden, big loose beaten-egg-white-like head; solid grassy-hayish hops in the nose; moderate to solid bitter-sweet flavour, soft, light to medium bodied; slightly lingering dryish bitter-sweet finish with zesty traces in the aftertaste. Good brew from a good brewery......

(bottle, 33cl, gushing) Slightly unclear, pale golden colour with a tall but loose frothy white head. Slightly dusty, pale malty aroma with grassy hops. Moderately bitter flavour with a tinge of sourness, light bodied with a lively carbonation. Pale malty and grassy hoppy taste, leading into a dry, a bit slim and grassy hoppy finish. A rather lame Pilsener interpretation. 22.XII.10
