50cl bottle from Aldi, Bracknell. A brilliantly clear golden amber colour that catches the light, with a thin white head and light carbonation; floral aroma; crisp citrusy taste with a sweet biscuity body; and a herbal bitterness with a touch of spice, leaving a prickly finish. A rather good pale ale.

GBBF Day 3. Cask. Clear gold beer, a few white bubbles for a head. Palate is light and semi dry, modest fine carbonation. Light malts, mildly sweet. Tangy orange - lemon. Light floral finish. Mildly amusing.

Many thanks to Minutemat for this bottle! Great rich dark malty beginning. Nuts, caramel, roast. Full and round for the 3.7%. Roasted dry nuts in the aftertaste, moderate bitter, refreshing and round with a great roasted bitterness on the end. Great dry caramel with nuts.

Bottle from Aldi, Chertsey. Slightly floral malty aroma. An attractive bright amber. Gleams in the glass. Thin bubbly white head. Medium bitter - surprising kick to it. Malt. Quinine. Pepper. A bitter? Light. Thin. A buzz of carbonation. Abrupt finish. I've borrowed a soft spot for Holden's from two Black Country mates, but this was better than I was expecting. Interesting bitter.

Bottle. Aldi. Crystal clear, pale gold. Film of sticky, white head. Nose has grass clippings and privet leaf. Some biscuity malts. A bit toasty. A bit lemony. Taste is nicely balanced, buttery sweetness, with lemon hop bitterness. Clean and crisp, drying mouthfeel. Grassy, lemony bite to finish. Good golde.
