500ml bottle shared with Finn Arvid. Moderate off-white head over a cloudy, amber body. Fruit-hoppy aroma. Smooth taste of oranges leading to a rounded bitter ending. Quite refreshing, but little more than average for the style (courtesy of Skinnyviking, Copenhagen 29.05.2008).

BCA from Corks, Bristol. Golden coloured with a big, frothy white head. Aroma of citrus and grassy hops with some elderflowers. The flavour had a touch of sweetness before a mouth-puckering lemon hop finish. Good.

0.5L bottle. Murky orange colour, dominant floral hoppy aromas with just a touch of malt and yeast. Taste is citrusy with strong hoppy bitternes. Finish is dry and quite short. Quite easy to drink but also bland and one dimensional.

Hazy yellow color, small white head. Very citrusy, lots of lime esters in the nose. A bit earthy flavor, citrus peels dominate. Dry, fruity, could be even better from cask ... one of the better British Golden ales.

Bottle. Hazy yellow-orange color with a medium, short-lasting, white head. Sweet fruity aroma, with floral hops, some yeast (I think I should have let the sediment settle a bit more in the bottle), some maltinesss and some spices. Flavor starts with some sweet malt, andl soon becomes spicier, with a bit of yeast, mild fruitiness, and some hops in the background all the way, getting more dominant in the dry finish. Medium-bodied. An OK beer.

Cask at The Black Friar. Very minimal floral hop aroma. Brassy color with firm white head. Starts nicely fruity with passing malt and a light bitter finish.Decent mouthfeel. Just excellent. Some sips seemed perfumy and floral. This was not constant.
