Craft Islington. Bottleshare. Thanks to Dan. Clear gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth and fairly dry palate, reasonable fine carbonation. Light malts. A touch of brett, very mild smoke. Whisper of fruity peat. Light finish. Bonkers!

Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - this is golden and it has a fluffy head. No red colour anywhere. Is this really the right beer? Has something been bottled into the wrong botlle. Nose - no beetroot. Oranges and lemons. Taste - lime, herb, candied lemon. Something herby. Palate - close to medium bodied. Tangy middle section. Dry tangy texture. Overall - perhaps this is a golden ale? Has it been mis-labelled?

Bottle from Iechyd Da, Caernarfon. Pours a disappointing golden with a thin white head. Aromas of light caramel. I'm trying to find the beetroot. Maybe this was mislabelled? It's a decent golden ale.
