2.8 At my home together with Yves gold blond colored body with a white head and with a spicy citrus hop aroma a spicy herby hops bitter taste with a bitter finish

3.1 Bottle as Yellowhammer Anytime IPA. Clear gold in the glass. Big airy white head. Excellent lacing. Aroma: pale malts, floral hops, straw, a metallic hint. Light body. The flavour delivers solid dryness. Hoppy. Fruity. Floral. Spicy. Highly drinkable.

3.5 Bottle. Yellow color, white head. Aroma has malts and crispy hops. Malty body on the back, hops, fruity, dry end.

2.7 Quite rough beginning. Herbal hints, full-flavoured with medicine-like parts. The bitterness is low, the malts are round, the body is very dry. Medicine-herbal aftertaste, interesting fruity, the hops are round but strange intense herbal. Interesting.

3.3 Bottle at Henderson’s vegan restaurant Edinburgh. Aroma is grassy and grapefruity. Pours clear honey gold with a white top and light lacing. The taste is medium sweet. Full fruited with a pale malts spine. Medium carbonation with a lasting sourness and an oily finish on the palate. A refreshing summer ale on one of those rare Scottish evenings where there is a strange yellow orb in the sky.

2.2 Cask @ Pilcrow, Manchester. Golden with a small head. Hopped in its nose it has a slightly weak texture - certainly a weak fruity flavour.

4.0 Bottle from Tesco, Stirling. Really excellent Golden Bitter. Beautifully dry and tangy. Crystal clear, superbly clean. Flavour exists throughout. Great technique. Could have done with an extra bottle of this sucka.

3.4 bottle bb 11/4/17 deep golden hazy medium head citric light honey floreal light citrus medium bitterness oro carico velata discreta schiuma media persistenza citrica ma anche maltata leggero mieloso amaro medio note floreale leggero agrume

3.7 500ml bottle. Pours a light blond with a small white head. Nose is light sweet malt, straw bit of bread and bitter grapefruit. Light mouth feel with a bit of carbonation pushing the beer around the palate. Taste is honey, lemon, straw, floral and grapefruit. Fairly bitter and a dry aftertaste. Very refreshing and drinkable.

3.3 Fat på Bishop Arms, Gustav i Malmö. Smak och doft av humle, malt, citrus, grapefrukt, persika med toner av mango och blommig honung. Lätt kropp, fin sötma, rund och len, beska med smak av apelsinskal och grapefrukt.

2.2 7/20 not bad so much as anonymous. Very lightly bitter but not that much taste. Only 4%, says organic so you can pretend it's healthy. It's ok for a light beer

2.9 Pours clear golden with a white head. Aroma is sweet honey. Flavour is a sweet, sickly honey too. Not the best.

3.3 Fcking Craft Pub, Moscow bottle: pours hazy gold with a white head. Aroma is light citrus and bread. Taste is lightly bitter. Mild aftertaste. Pretty light.

3.4 Solide, bitter, grasig und ein bisschen metallisch. Fruchthoppy und viel Schlankheit ermöglichen ein unauffälligen Trinkgenuss. Ein wenig Malzverweise und am Ende mit dezenten Tropenfruchtflavours. Nett. Probierschluck von Chrille beim Kieler Herbst Craft Beer Day 2016.

3.8 Clean gold. Thin to medium head, average retention. Aroma intensity 3.75/5. Cut grass in the nose. Flowers add to the heavy bitter taste. Medium body

3.6 Keg @ Bishops Arms, Hornsgatan. Slightly hazy golden, mid-size white head, great rich lacing. Hoppy citrus aroma, grassy and floral. Crisp and dry mouthfeel, light bodied, mild carbonated. Hoppy citrus taste, passion fruit, stone fruit grassy and with a mild floral bitter finish.

3.2 On cask, unfined, at Jocktoberfest. Pours cloudy gold. Nose of honey, caramel, hay. Taste is yeasty, fruit and nut, biscuity and a juicy finish.

3.1 500ml bottle from Scottish Real Ale Shop, Kilmahog. Pours clear gold, good white head. Aroma brings forth pale malts, light citrus. Taste is light, clean lemon citrus, pale malts. A straightforward unfussy golden ale.

3.2 500ml bottle. Clear and goldeneye a light, foamy white head. Lemon aroma, flavour is lemon with soap and cereal.

3.3 Cask conditioned at Telford’s Warehouse, Chester. Gold with white head. There is a light, citric note to this, some sharpness, a hint of grapefruit on a boiled cereal type body. A little mixed but fine in the end.

2.9 Rich amber colour with a white head. Refreshing taste, great for a hot day. Aroma is pleasant though very subtle.

4.1 Bottle at home bought from brewery shop. Best before 30 Mar 17. Fresh hoppy pale ale with nice lasting bitterness. Heavily carbonated but works well. Has the signature fresh slightly farmy / sea air flavours and aroma I love about Black Isle beers.

3.1 Bottle. Golden color, good white foam. Aroma: floral, fruits, citrus, honey. Taste: slight sweetness, mild hop bitterness, citrus and fruit.

2.9 Tried at the Strait and Narrow, Lincoln. Golden colour with a white head. Aroma light fruity but the favour has more grapefruit. Taste citrus fruity.

2.7 500ml butelka z tesco. Bardzo ladna drobnopechezykowa piana, niezly lacing. Kolor złoty, klarowny. Aromat ubogi, kwaskowy, lekka trawa, "kiszonka", lekkie cytrusy. Smak kwaśny, lekka goryczka na drugim planie. Piwo lekkie, srednie wysycenie. Piwo przecietne, bez szalu.

3.4 Flasche 0,5l: Kräftiges Gold mit festem mittelporiger Schaum; frische und fruchtige Nase mit angenehmer Süße und kräftiger Grapefruit; angenehmer Körper mit einer leichten Süße und fruchtigen Aromen, Grapefruit, Grapefruit-Zest

2.6 500ml, brown bottle, tesco. Pours medium pale ale with a thin white head subsiding average fast. Scent is feet. Ale malt. Feet. Meh. Taste is great Scottish malt and ale yeast, just clean and correct. Finish is clean and smooth. Normal. Good.

2.6 Nez fleuri et caramélisé, robe tirant sur l’ambré. En bouche, l’amertume prend le dessus, sans laissé vraiment de place aux arômes. Assez moyen.

3.3 500 ml bottle @ Henderson’s, Edinburgh, rated on 2015-07-28 Clear golden orange beer with big white head leaving lacing. Aroma has grapefruit, resin, peach and mango. Flavor has grapefruit, orange and malts. Palate is thin with strong carbonation and some bitterness. Finish has medium bitterness and feels a bit watery. Aftertaste has orange and grapefruit. Crisp and refreshing but too thin. Bonus for organic.
