Exactly what it says on the label; golden in colour with a zesty, hoppy aroma and clean refreshing flavours. The light malts & fruity hop profile make this a simple and quaffable golden session ale.

(Bottle, Bishop’s Arms Vasagatan, Stockholm, 16 Sep 2011) Golden colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with notes of citrus, peaches and biscuity malt. Fruity, slightly malty taste with citrus, peaches, biscuits and a mild citrussy bitterness in the finish. Light body, fairly dry. Tasty, refreshing and very drinkable. Nice one.

Cask-conditioned at Blackfriars, Glasgow 5/06/2011. Golden in colour with a slight white head. Aroma of cereal malts with a touch of grassy hop. Flavour had a touch of citrus, sweetish malts and bitter finish. Ok.

Cask at Southampton Arms, London. A hazy golden beer with no head. The aroma has notes of malt as well as lighter notes of straw. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and light notes of hops, leading to a bitter finish. I find it somewhat boring.

Warning! Early amateur rating! Complex golden ale that delivers on its promise of vanilla and orange. Finishes with a long and blooming bitterness that is a bit jarring.

Cask@The Southampton Arms, London. Slightly hazy golden colour, small head. Aroma is fruits, wood, spices, herbs as well as some wooden notes. A quite pleasant aroma. Flavour would be quite much the same with some mild earthyness.

From cask at Southampton Arms. Pours cloudy orange with a fully gone head. Aroma is vague butterish and mild citrusy hops. Mild malty, slight fruity and vague citric hops flavoured. Lingering fruity into the finish.

Honey and pine nose. Clear amber, thin head, good lacing. Watery mouthfeel. Some malt, some unmalted grain flavor. Lemon zest finish. Easy to drink, but disjointed. Tastes like a decent beer that has been watered down.

Bottled (K-Kamppi, BB 10/2010)
Hazy yellow color, good cloudy white head. Nose has lemony hops and watermelon fruityness. Suprisingly good body and palate for 3.9% beer. Fruity yeasty flavor. Interesting ashy notes with hoppy lemon and flower flavors. Although not so exciting, this brew works well in the sessions! I don’t understand why this is separate entry from cask version (clearly unfiltered).

Bottle: Golden, small to medium-sized stable white head; solid lemony, peachy and peary nose with distinctive "citrussy hops" and juicy malt underneath; distinctive bitter-sweet flavour, pleasantly light bodied; citrus-fruity bitter-sweet finish with a peachy aftertaste. Wow, what a nice brew.....
