From Aug 2008

This pours a hazy pale gold with a 2 finger head of foam.

The smell has a strong corny smell along with some fruit and some spice.

The taste is bready with some fruit flavours of maybe mango and some orange. I also get a yeasty flavourness that I didn't expect from a Cream Ale. It's quite nice.

Great head retention on this medium bodied Ale and it finishes with a fruity tartness and hop bitterness that is both pleasing and long lasting.

This one really tastes different and I'd have to say, in a positive way. And man, at 4.5%abv, it yells out drinkability. Good stuff.

My apologies to the trader that sent this to me as I accidentally moved this bottle to the fridge without putting the info in to my memory bank.

Draft @ the brewpub. Dark gold poor with a small white head, no lace down the pint. Aroma of sweet malt and light grain. The only real note here is the mouthfeel. It has a creamy, smooth malt flavor. And it’s easy to drink. But it as basic as you can get. It’s a nice warm-up, but nothing with much flavor.

8th August 2008. On tap at GBBF. Slightly hazy gold beer. Semi dry palate - light hops. Quite floral with some elderflower present. A little saccharine sweetness at the end. Does a job!

Cloudy pale yellow color, with a white head. Sweet caramel smell. Sweet taste with some butterscotch in it. Tastes like a Wearther’s original kind of. Some malts in there thrown in. Medium to light body. However, this beer comes in a great box.
