From old rating notes taken around 2000. "Durable head, creamy and rich, but the pleasures lessened about halfway through as an astringent, slightly metallic aftertaste took over." Still, must not have been all bad with a 3.2 rating.

Clear golden ale with a nice creamy head. Barely any smell to it. Bitter citrus taste. Not much up front but a nice bitter citrus flavour which lingers soon comes through. When you’ve got a mouthful there’s some light fruit, maybe melon, but it’s all hoppy bitterness in the aftertaste.

Clear golden beer with a good foamy head. Light citrus aroma, flavour is sour citrus, hops and with a surprising but pleasant creamy feel to it. Very drinkable indeed. Leaves a nice balanced flavour of hop and fruit in the mouth and maybe a bit of the malt coming through.

Clear golden beer with a decent frothy head. Light sweet aroma. Flavour is light, sweet and hoppy. It’s a touch watery and feels more lightweight than it actually is but it’d be perfect if you needed a beer for the long haul.
