21st July 2017: random tasting session with myself at home, Bertie the dog looks on. 330ml bottle: BBE Feb 2018, obtained from a local Co-Op store. Poured slowly into a Westmalle Trappist chalice, why not? Clear, bright and clean looking, nice amber/bronze body, the head a quickly fading off-white affair ( what a pity). Considering the hop content list this isn’t as citrusy as I expected in the aroma or flavour (good). Spicey hop nose with some red fruitiness, taste similar, semi-bitter with an underlying malty base. One of the best beers I have had from Robinson’s so far.

Bottle from the Co op and drunk on a train. Clear deep orange colour lasting beige head. Some hop on this some Robinsons house yeast some decent biscuit malt flavour. More a premium bitter than anything else but an ok one. Biscuit malt reminds me of ginger nuts with less ginger. ok.

Bottle from Coop and drunk on a train. Some Robinson yeast character some ok pale malt. Some grassy hop. I didn’t think it bad. Its a srandard golden ale with some decent bitterness on the finish. I thought ok.

Bottle from Co-Op. Poured a crystal clear light amber with a frothy white head and a few bubbles. The aroma is sweet malt, light fruit, woody hop. The flavour is moderate to light bitter with a smooth woofy hop bitter palate. Serverd warm thankfully. Fine for a session but hardly overflowing with flavour.

500ml bottle: BBE Feb 18. Drank at home on 26th Apr 17, poured into two Leffe badged chalice glasses (one was for the wife, but she declined the offer and I drank both chalices. Clean golden pours, the heads full white crowns: both heads fell away to wispy coverings fairly quickly, collar stayed throughout though. Nice blend of malts and hops: not too malty, nor too hop bitter. Light caramel/toffee aroma and flavours tempered with a decent hop presence.
