I don't know why it's lost my rating for this one. I'll add another full review if / when I have it again

50cl bottle from the Sainsbury’s Beer Hunt 2013 range. Gold clear with lasting white head. It’s a golden ale. Hops are what? There, yes, soft, some citrus, touch of grapefruit and lime. You do have to dig a bit for them. The malts are pale but solid. Some dryness and bitterness on the finish. It’s subtle this beer. You really have to dig to get to the good bits. But as an overall beer, I really quite like it.

Bottle from Sainsburys. Golden. Thin, white head. Aroma is bready with light malt. There are hops in there, but the promised citrus flavour doesn’t really materialise. Slight metallic aftertaste. Not my cup of tea.

Cask, 1/3 pint at GBBF 2013. Jet black body. Tiny, beige head. Smoked malty nose with liquorice moments. Toffee malts and liquorice flavours alongside a note of chocolate. Dry malt bitter ending. Nice and easy drinking porter (London Olympia 13.08.2013).

Cask at Great British Beer Festival 2013. Poured a black colour with a thick, dense tan head. Aroma of roasted malt, liquorice and some ryebread. Slightly more watery mouth feel than I was hoping for. Dark fruit flavours with molasses and plain chocolate. Finishes with burnt malt, hop resin and sweetened coffee.

50cl bottle from the Sainsbury’s Beer Hunt 2013 range. Bright amber with a ring of white head; floral aroma; jammy taste with some green hops and a touch of orange marmalade; then a malty finish. I don’t know where the Cascade hops went - but they didn’t make it into this bottle.
