Bottle. Hay, grass and soil aroma. Orange tan color -hazy with moderate head. Very grassy aroma with lighter malt and hops finish. A nice earthy ale.

Bottled. Golden with a small off-white head. Aroma is dominated by a fruity unpleasant pine-apple smell. Maybe it is because it is just one week before BB-date? I have tasted this before, but can’t remember the profile of it, so I guess I’ll have to put it on my re-rate list. Ok flavor of fruits, mostly pine-apple, and pines. Resin-bitter and light fruity finish. (060124)

Orange colour with white head. Has a little fruity aroma. Malty flavor and fruity, some caramel too. Hoppy mouthfeel with some bitterness in the aftertaste. Monty Python is funnier than this beer.

(Bottle 50 cl) Very dark brown - close to black - with a nice, brownish head. Malty fullness and a dry bitterness - rather marked bitterness actually. Reminds me more of an old fashioned, traditional porter. Odd name - and explanation for it. 140603

(Bottle 50 cl) Orangey golden, close to amber, slightly hazy with a decent head. Some typical notes of fruit and caramel with a distinct bitterness. But basically just another standard Bitter without too much personality - despite the odd name. 270405

Huge, offwhite, creamy head; clear, brown body with ongoing carbonation. Faint, harmonic aroma of resiny hops and some malts, maybe some bready notes. Taste is extremely smooth, of slightly roasted, faintly smoky malts, with a lovely, crisp aftertaste of resiny hops, and maybe some citrus hops. The taste is very balanced, and nice. Some bitterness. Not the most complex, or fancy-tasting beer I’ve had, but exceptionally well made, and highly drinkable. Highly recommended!

Enjoyable british ale. A nice lightly fruity aroma, hint of persimmon and caramel. Flavor well balanced with a nice easy palate. Just a kiss of spicy hops. I almost feel like I get a touch of smokiness in the finish. True amber color, full head.

500ml bottle from Tesco. Quite clearly this is copper coloured, so not sure why it is called Golden. Thin off white head. Nice white flesh fruit aroma. Apple and peach are distinguishable. Bit of fartyness as well. Bit thin and tinny in mouth with too much carbonation. Shame this is pasteurised and too carbonated, because it could have been a good bitter. Finish has some tingly hop and more orchard fruit, but frankly I can?t get over that mouthfeel and the metallic deadness 2.4/5 re rate. Ok golden bitter
