Brown 500ml bottle: BBD 31 Aug 14, poured into a UK pint sleeve on 1 Nov 13. As the name might suggest, this is a golden coloured ale: it was bright and clear also. On top sat a good deep head of tight white bubbles. The nose wasn’t up to much: some hints of hoppiness and traces of malts, but not enough to pick out anything to comment on. The taste was an interesting blend of flavours, mildly hoppy with a dry finish, it also possessed some semi-sweet caramel biscuit notes especially as it warmed a little. OK more than marvelous, but overall fine.

Bottle from Waitrose in Northwood. A dark orange coloured pour with a thin white head on top. Vague fruity, caramel aroma. Tastes slightly fruity, caramel and not much else. I really struggled to drink this one.

Bottle. Yellow colour. moderate apple aroma. Moderate apple flavor. Dry some barnyrad notes. Average finish. Oily palate. nice cider.

50cl bottle from Waitrose. Amber with a thin white head that laces the glass; bready aroma with a trace of citrus; soft and sweet in the mouth with a honeyed sweetness; the hops are fresh and spicy, but don’t quite cut through the sweetness.

bottle from Waitrose Sidford. Golden yellow, mid-sized white head. Malty, shy hoppy touch. Hints of cardboard. Not the best German Pils, I wonder why they chose this brewery to represent Germany....
