On tap at Popeye’s. Golden slumbers pale ale 20 IBU 5.5% a cloudy honey gold. The nose is fruity bitter hops but somewhat mild. Medium-light bodied with a zesty mouthfeel. The light bitting citrus hops and biscuity malts are very well balanced. Fruity and sweet - good.

Tap at Popeye. Deep orange-amber color, cloudy, flat. Orange, caramel, pine in the nose. Sweet flavors of pine and caramel, very pitter. Kind of uninspired and too flat.

Handpump at Popeye. Dark golden, cloudy, some lace. Grassy, citrus nose, light malts. A bit thin, dry, very hoppy and grassy. Lots of dry hopping, it would seem, and works well in real ale form. Malt needs a lift.
