Bottled as Coop Gold Miner. Pours clear, dark golden with a dense off-white head. Some roasted notes, caramel, malt and hops in the aroma. The flavor has bitterness at first, then there’s malt. Medium body and a hoppy finish with some anis. Decent beer. (061027)

(Bottle 50 cl) This one credited to "Integrated Bottling Solutions" - not Freeminer. Pours a hazy amber with a handsome, off-white head with a good retention. Discreet aroma of nuts. Fairly light-bodied with lots of flavour: nuts, caramel and a hint of citrus. Dry finish without being overly bitter. A nice Bitter. 020806

500ml bottle from Co-op, labelled as Gold Miner, Bottle Conditioned. Copper colour with thin lasting white head. Interesting hop aroma. Grapefruit is really prominent. Juicy malt. Some light toffee. Grapefruit hop aroma is good with Thornton’s toffee in mouth and then balanced grapefruit hop tangy finish. This is a very good beer. Hop and juicy malt balance is excellent. Some creamy fudge and biscuit too.

I pick this up regularly on bottles from Headington Co-op under it’s other alias Gold Miner. Orange coloured and with nice hoppy and fruity floral and zesty aroma, good hop and malt taste and nice levels of bitterness.

Bottled A very dark beer that has plenty of roasted aroma’s. This is not one of my favourite beers and in fairness I have tried it on a number of occasions now and always feel a bit dissapointed. I find it far to bitter with too much in the way of roasted coffee notes also a bit thin and too dry. I can see why others like this as it is very interesting, its just not my thing at all.

Light amber color. Light aroma, with some malt and hop. Good malty body, good structure, with a good bitterness. Finally a good IPA! (in my opinion)
