Greene King St. Edmund's Golden Beer (Bottle)

Greene King St. Edmund's Golden Beer (Bottle)

Bottle: Filtered

Brewed at the St Edmund Brewhouse, Greene King's craft brewery.

Made with Cascade hops. Fresh golden beer with a citrus finish, brewed using pale malt and Cascade hops.

Light and refreshing with a low present gravity as most of the sugars are converted into alcohol. The key note pink grapefruit comes from the Cascade hop. Some First Gold hop in the boiling copper gives a refreshing bitterness. Easy drinking with loads of flavour.

2.8 Not sure what it wants to be. A slightly hoppy Pilsner? Golden colour with clean white foam. Crisp initial taste with slight citrus notes added. Overall ok.
2.9 Bottle, pours clear gold, not much head, just a few bubbles. Aroma is traditional malt base, bit of caramel and biscuit, slightly floral and citrussy, hops come through in the finish which is quite long and bitter. Light medium body and light oily texture. Average, slightly prickly carbonation. Not too bad
2.3 Butelka 0,33 l. Bardzo słaby trunek. Delikatna cytusowość. Zbyt wodniste. Na pewno nie wrócę.
2.7 Bottle. Pours a clear golden orange with a quickly fading off white bubbly head. Aroma is of butterscotch, grassy, light citrus and stone fruit. Taste is of biscuit, bread, caramel, light pine, honey. Watery to oily mouthfeel, medium carbonation.
1.9 Pours golden blonde with very minimal white head. Aroma is very bland, grain, grass and a touch of malt. Taste is weak and expected bitter and a touch sweet. Rather watery in texture and a bland finish. Not very good
3.9 A: Clear gold with a medium-large white head N: Green bitterness and faint malt T: Again a good, crisp bitterness with a medium-light malt backbone P: Medium-thin O: Well balanced, clean and very drinkable
2.8 Via Vente-privee.com - Honnête et légère, étiquette sympathique. Moyenne et manque de relief
2.7 Bottle from Seiyu. Pours bright golden and clear, some foam at first but does not stay around for too long. Nose is biscuity, light touch of wet hops but otherwise some bread crumbs, soaked, hint of caramel. Drinks soft, light bitterness, mainly malty - and somewhat watery. Not really anything to write home about, simple ale that feels like a macro one. Drinkable but well, probably won't be buying this again.
2.8 330ml Bottle: Pours a crystal clear golden with not much froth. Some citrus and pine aromas mixed with bread crust and honey. A nice crisp finish with a slight honey and lemon finish. Body is medium to light, carbonation is medium, bitterness is medium. Overall a nice, thirst quenching beer for a South African summer.
1.6 0.33 l bottle shared with Višnja 666. Thanks! Clear golden, minimal head, diminishing. Aroma is grassy hops and some malts, mostly corn. Light dry. Watery, moderate carbonation, light finish. Very fake. Unpleasant. Boring. Probably old also.
2.5 Golden color, small white head. Aroma malt and hops. Malty taste, watery body, hoppy finish. OK, but lack of stronger taste.
2.5 Pite u Marcina D. w HQ Bardzo nie Męcząco trawiasto-zbożowe. Bardzo mu blisko do typowego polskiego koncerniaka. W tle nieco kukurydzy. Po co to komu nie wiem.
2.1 Kupljeno u djela u sibeniku... Ok slatkasto pivo vocne arome...pitko ali nista posebno...
2.8 Bottle. Backlog rating from bottle collection and historic scoring. Source not recorded. No tasting notes kept, just rating.
3.3 Bottle 0,33L from the local store. Clear golden color with a finger of frothy white head. Aroma of grassy hops, flowers, caramel, a bit biscuity. Taste starts light sweet, malty and caramely, while finish is light to moderate bitter with a toch of grapefruit and caramel. Light to medium body, oily texture, lively carbonation. Decent brew, appropriate for summer days.
2.5 16. 8. 2017, Ljubljana. Bottled. Lager with a hint of citrusy aroma and taste to spice up little otherwise plain old lager. Nothing special.
3.1 Bottle from Victa, shared with heavy. Full golden body. Tiny head. Sugary, herbal and berry cascade aroma. Sweetish flat cascade taste, ending a bit juicy. No bitterness really. Meh, okay.
3.0 18-06-17 // bottle shared. Clear golden, small white head. Light bodied, mild grains, mild citrus floral hop bitter.
3.4 Pours a golden yellow with a thin head. Aroma of hopps, fruity, citrus notes. Taste of hopps, grains. Slightly bitter and sour, but pleasant overall. Medium bitter and sour finish
3.0 Aroma of malt, some honey, slightly sweet, traces of tropical fruits, hints of sugar and caramel. Clear deep golden color with minimal sized white head. Taste is similar to aroma. some hoppiness, but mostly malty with sweet aftertaste. Watery, thin body, average carbonation. Pretty decent for a 4.2% golden ale.
2.6 Clear amber with little white head. Aroma is rotten peach raisins rum phenols slight rubber. Taste is shallow bitter with slight sour champagne. Tart and flat. Not for me.

2.8 Bottle from Trinkgut, Münster, NRW, Germany! Pours clear copper with a flat head. Flat smell of caramel and floral hops. Taste is bitter, malty, grassy. Not much Cascade hops noticeable. Not bad, but overall too flat!
2.6 Bottle. Typical lager of the British tradition - low carbonation. Nice and malty but not my favorite.
2.4 Old review before making ratebeer account. Incredibly average. Cascade hops are real neat, but if somebody told me it’s just water with cascade hops, I’d believe them - that’s just how dry and watery it is.
2.6 Golden colour with white foam. Does not smell of a lot. The beer is thin a the taste does not laste long.
2.5 Enjoyed: Poured from a bottle into a English pint glass. Appearance: Deep golden colour, with thin head. Aroma: Fruits (apple, pineapple, …) Palate: Thin, watery body; low carbonation. Taste: Mixture of sweetness and bitterness, some coriander, apple and citrus notes; dry aftertaste. Overall impression: Interesting, but not my kind.
