5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 5
2005 can. Pours a amber-gold colored body, clear, bubbly and has a small amount of poorly retained white head. Aroma of bitter, nutty-like hops, grainy pale malt, bit of dry toffee, perhaps, and some dry yellow fruits. Flavor is highly bitter up front. Not really citric, just sort of bitter without much hops flavor behind the bitterness. Little bit of sticky toffee-caramel, but it’s quite dry. Watery, loose body seems at odds with the high bitterness. I also detect a fair amount of acidity in this. Hints of breadiness and biscuits. Dry/bitter finish. Medium-light body, watery texture, lively carbonation, to quote a phrase.

2005 bottle. Oh boy, here we go again. I thought my swill tasting was behind me, but alas. . .Corn and vanilla in the nose, lager yeast. Crappy yellow-orange clear appearance, poor head no retention. The flavor dosent come off that poorly though, light malting, bits of cereal, honey, yeast. I’m not sold on this one. Where are the hops? They certainly weren’t too liberal with those. Medium body, not watery at least. No offense to anyone, but why is this not a pale lager? I better try another can, which I will do shortly.

As I first poured it, I remarked that it was an impressive appearing beer. They call it a gold ale, and it sure is a bright golden color. It had an amazing rocky and firm head that rose up almost an inch above the rim of the glass without spilling over- completely held its shape and lasted the whole glass (although that didn't mean much as I loved this so much I downed it within a couple of minutes). The aroma was really complex and amazing. At first I noted a ton of hops: piney, citric, herbal and generally crisp - there's alot going on there. Next I picked up some almost chocolatey or caramelly notes. Taste was clean and crisp. Refreshing hop character, medium bitterness, smooth maltiness. Medium bodied and so easily drinkable it was gone before I knew it. There was even still a big creamy dollop of the foam left in the bottom of the glass.

Dark tan; fruity-hoppy aroma with lots of spices (tumeric, black pepper, rosemary); woody bitterness, hop-spice flavours reminiscent of sandalwood and hop oil; long, lingering bitterness.

Rather black, with dark chestnut highlights; lightish roast in the nose with milk notes; thin, slightly acidic (is this starting to go off, perhaps?); limp flavours of watery coffee, touch of almond and maybe some coconut milk. Disappears quickly.

Beautifully balanced; nice earthy hop flavours and lively palate. I could drink a few more of these.
