Copper golden body. Lively, huge white head. Fresh smell of sappy hops. The taste brings juicy malts and resinous hops with a touch of toffee. More hops to the ending. 500ml bottle as Gold Miner from a co-operative in Tayport, Fife 02.11.2008.

500ml bottle from my local Co-op store. Copper with a ring of off-white head; damp straw aroma; sweet and sour fruit and chewy caramel flavours, quite lively in the mouth; dry, nutty and malty finish. Warming and very pleasing.

500ml bottle from a local co-op store. Reddish amber in colour with a slight, off-white head and plenty of carbonation. Sweet red fruit and caramel aroma with a hint of earthiness. Flavour had plenty more fruit, some chewy biscuit malt and a balancing long, dry finish. Good.

Cask@O’Connells, Tampere. Amber colour, small fluffy head. Fruity hops and some grass in the aroma. Flavour is grass, mild fruityness as well as wood. Mild herbal notes in the finish. Quite dry, but at the same time pleasant brew.

From cask. Pours clear and golden orange with a fully gone head. Malty and slight fruity hops aroma. Flavour is smooth roasted malt towards breadish. Light fruity hops note swept through this into a nice lingering malty finish.
