Town Crier is a full-flavoured golden ale with a big voice. The elegant straw coloured bitter has a hint of sweetness which is complemented by subtle hop flavours leading to a dry finish. The nose of crisp fruit is apparent with a refreshing balance of taste, a bitter which is supremely consistent and full of flavour.

Brewed using locally sourced Maris Otter malting barley and Worcestershire Goldings and Progress hops.

Bottle Notes - Town Crier is a bottle conditioned beer which contains sediment, pour carefully and best stored upright at cellar temperature 10 - 12 degrees.

Bottle: Unclear yellow with a bubbly white head. Grassy Citrus/malty aroma. Low carbonation. Rather soft texture. Nice lacings & some good solid hops in the taste. Very simple, not bad, not really good either. OK

Cask@GBBF2007. Golden colour, not much head. Aroma is wood, slight nectar and some earth. Flavour is quite papery bitter with some hints of fruits. Leaves a tickling feeling on the tongue. Not the most exciting brew I have had.

Hazy golden color. Light fruity aroma: white wine, lemon peel. Some malt flavor, high bitterness, aromatic enough; strange crossover between Golden Ale and white wine. Very long final. Refreshing. Dry.

Cask @ Jan Primus. Slight hazy yellow golden color, short head. Aroma of typical english hop (Goldings I presume), quite flowery, bit malty, according to Savad it also contains some skin of yellow plums. Moderate bitter taste. Decent bitter.

Cask at Københavnske Øldage. Clear, golden body with a minimal white head. Grainy and malty nose, and a flavor of grain with citrusy hops. Medium to thin body. Boring, but easy to drink. (070511)

Cask at GBBF 2006. The 2nd beer of Saturday (I had a pint of Cains Bitter whilst everyone else settled in and started arriving). Golden, thin off white head. Good carbonation. Nice hop aroma. Bit of sickly malt. Finish is a bit disappointing. Odd bitter. Bit earthy I guess from the Goldings hops. Some juicy fruit.

[Cask at GBBF] Clear golden. Lightly soapy nose. Mildly malty and sweet with rounded mouthfeel and notes of fruit. Carefully salty finish.
