Pleasant best bitter. Pours clear darkish golden. Very thin head and little aroma. Malty and hoppy.
Pours a clear golden coloration with a large, creamy head and visible carbonation clinging to the glass. Smells of doughy, grainy malt and hints of grassy hops. Taste follows the nose, being dominated by doughy, grainy malt and hints of grassy, herbal hops, with a slight mineral note as well. Finishes with a medium bitterness and some grains lingering in the aftertaste. Smooth mouthfeel with a light body and medium carbonation. A decent Golden Ale that is crisp, easy drinking and refreshing, with a good bitterness, but slightly unpleasant mineral note.
500ml bottle into pint glass. From ALDI, Riverwood. Pours a clear bronze colour with fine carbonation. Large crown of foam on top. Faint aroma of grassy hops, a little smoky. Surprisingly effervescent with some herbal bitterness then finishing with dark caramel. Easy-drinking thirst smasher. Very much a Northern English beer.
F: medium, bit tan, not long lasting.
C: amber, light hazy.
A: malty, sweet cereals, grassy, fruity, biscuits.
T: malty, fruity, bit soapy, grassy, bit biscuits, peach, floral, medium body and soft carbonation, dry on the palate, ok for the style, not bad and not great, enjoyed, 0,5l bottle (4,5%) as “Black Sheep Golden Sheep Ale” from “'t Iengels Wienkeltje” food store in Ostende.
24Aug2018 Sweet grain and cereal malts, caramel, hay, straw, biscuit. Slightly hazy gold, medium, creamy, white head. Light bitter. More grain and cereal malts, caramel, more straw, grass, soft carbonation, medium bodied. Alright but boring. Bottle from Tesco, Amersham.
Bottle from Makro. Golden ale with a malty taste. Is growing on me.

Bottle at my desk in work. a deep orange amber coloured pour with a fading off white head. Aroma is buttery, sweet malts, toffee, butterscotch. Flaovur is composed of light sweet malts, chalky, brambles, burnt toffee, sugars. Palate is light and chalky, moderate carbonation. Not great.
Appearance is golden and very clear, a small off-white head hangs around for a bit. Aroma- hops, caramel malt, hint of citrusy fruit. Taste- bitter hops, summer fruit, lemon and orange, malty backbone gives a nice mouthfeel. Some carbonation at the end. Solid summer ale.
Clear, golden colored, small+ white head. Aroma is of malt, some biscuit, bit fruity, apple (not green) and lemony. Taste is medium sweet malt, biscuit, some dried fruit, bit apple and lemony citrus, bit grassy, light+ bitterness. Medium to light bodied, soft carbonation, bit watery.
(bottle, MC Klub, Brezice)
Poured from the bottle. Light amber, a little citrus. Some carbonation that I don’t recall when drinking on draught. Simple, nothing wrong with it at all.
Bottle at home. Pours clear amber. Light citrus flavour. Gently hopped. Overall pretty mild. It’s okay.
500ml bottle from Sainsbury’s. Pours bright orange with fizzy bubbles and thin gassy head. Aroma sweet with tangerine, hay, sherbet and some earthiness. Somewhat astringent and really bubbly, but lacking good depth of flavour.
Bottle at the big brother’s house. Pours clear golden amber with a thin white head. Aromas of light malt, minerals, toffee, toast. Taste is thin, sweet. Thin finish, with a hint more toast.
Bottle. Pure golden color, normal white foam. Aroma: malty, slightly buttery, fruity, a little candy. Taste: light diacetyl, malty, mild hops,
Fruity, slightly metallic nose. Palate is golden malt with a touch of bread and tartness. Drinkable but only just.
*Old rating from 2011. Golden Ale with its typical flavour. Fresh grainy, hints of sweetness with a moderate bitterness. Nice but a bit sweetish grainy aftertaste.
Pours a golden colour with a white head. Aroma is malt and syrup. Taste is light and a little citrusy with a bitter finish. Slightly metallic. Not very appealing.
Pours clear, golden. Middling amount of light tan head. Aroma is grainy. Lightly sweet. Quick, bitter finish.

Amber, clear, frothy white head, slight lacing
Aroma of light minerals, soft spicy hops, grassy hops
Taste of soft spicy hops, dab of bitter minerals, tad bitter earthy, light caramel background, some cereal, slight citric edge
Palate - Medium carb and body, soft bitter. Finish is quite dry, soft bitter earthy hops
Overall - Traditional English Bitter, for the style quite decent
I don"to realy like this beer.... Strange aftertaste, strange bitterness :/
• Bit of yeast/wheat (‘damp raincoat’ funk) + caramel-y biscuit on nose. [FIRST GOLD HOPS, CHALLENGER HOPS].
• Quite thin body – sweetish, citrus-y.
• Honeyed bread, then a bit of a rounded/wheaty end. [MARIS OTTER MALT WHEAT]
Pours golden with foamy head nice mouthfeel well carbonated initially sweet with bitter finish ok but not outstanding
A clean, slightly eggy aroma, a nice sweet malt and a marginally more assertive bitterness. It’s balanced but leans a touch in that direction. A hint of metal.
500ml bottle, pours clear gold, small white head. Light caramel and toffee malt, light floral and citrus notes and a little hop spice. Some sweetness in the finish which is well balanced and lightly bitter. Light bodied with a creamy texture and soft carbonation.
