Many thanks to Grumbo for this bottle. Smooth mild beginning. Easy to drink, grainy fruity. Mild in the aftertaste, caramel, raisins, fruity cherries. Very nice balanced, quite dry fruity. Nice.

Pro Panda thanks to Shig, 13/07/20. Hazy golden orange with a decent off white covering. Nose is mellow citric zest, toasted grains, melon, grass. Taste comprises lemon rind, grass, toasted malts, light breads, hint of green apple. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with light astringent bitterness. Simple pale ... firmly stuck at the lower end of third gear ... just about sippable but would struggle to sink a bottle on my own.

Taste comprises tangerine, grass, melon, light yeast strokes, mellow mixed citric vibes, faint breads. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light drying close with restrained bitterness. Pleasant enough Golde.

6/6/2020. Bottle from Beautiful Beers. Sample courtesy of the SHIG, cheers! Pours very dark brown with a bubbly beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, coffee, chocolate, nut and dark fruits with slight ashy/toasted notes. Moderate sweetness and light bitterness with a touch of berry tart. Body to match its abv. Excellent debut market beer. And a mild too!
