Chrimbo pressie from the wife. Clear, or should that be opaque, chestnut. Foamy off-white head is somewhat translucent. Aroma combines berries with caramel. Gluey. Flavourwise we have a sharp berry tang that cuts through but doesn't overshadow caramel and some grainy notes. Latterly develops some spice. Light. Thin to slick. Soft carbonation with some lazy fizz. It's fine. Decent on a cold night but not particularly exciting.

Christmas present from the Mrs. Clear gold. Thick foamy white head. Aroma has citrus, a touch of quinine. Underlying damp fruit and malts. Medium bitter. Sour tangy citrus. Underlying malts. A dryness to the flavours. Develops a sweeter underbelly. Light. Slick. Prickly carbonation combines with a long dry somewhat astringent finish. Undoubtedly old school - certainly seems to have been gone from Golden Ale status to being described as a Pale Ale complete with an array of US hops - but actually quite punchy, despite not being overly interesting.
