Shared 330ml bottle. Pale golden with a thin white head. Sweet, floral beer, it's fine if somewhat unremarkable
Pretty much what you expect from this sort of thing. Doesn't have any grim stuff in there to make up for being a very light session beer. It's alright.
Perfectly drinkable but somewhat bland session ale. Nowt wrong with it but a bit dull
Golden colour with lasting head. Aroma and flavour have plenty of toasted malts. Surprisingly bitter and full bodied. A good low alcohol session beer.
0.5l bottle. Golden color with white head. Aroma is malty, citrusy and fruity. Taste is malty with some hop flavor, citruses and light to medium bitterness. Overall it's very nice, easy drinkable and refreshing beer.
Cask at Meat & Barrel, Southsea. Pleasant easy drinking pale ale with a hoppy taste
Cask half at the Volunteers Arms, GBBF. Pours clear yellow with a white head. Aroma of hops and malt. Bitter finish. Great for the abv.
Has an aroma of soapy tropical fruits. Taste is big on grapefruit, lemon and mango. Finish is grassy bitter and slightly soapy. Punches above its weight compared to the ABV, but a fairly plain hoppy session pale.
Jasno slomkowe. Piana niska. Aromat nedzny. Smak nedzny. Slabe piwo. Spodziewalem sie wiecej
Modest white head and very yellow body. Soft hops aroma and little else. Flavour is mellow grain followed by a soft hippy finish. Perfectly nice and the low and is no detriment.
Half pint on tap at the Piccadilly Tap, Manchester. Pale amber beer with thin white head. Zero carbonation. Slight hop nose. Good body (3.5%!) Some lacing. Easy-drinking, hoppy. Lingering bitterness in the finish. Superior low ABV beer, quenching and interesting.
Cask at Riverside Hotel, Ilkley. As has been said before. A decent golden pale beer, packs in quite a lot of flavour to say it's so weak. It's a decent enough beer and I admire it for being so weak and making such an effort at getting the flavour in there, but it's not an exceptional beer, worth a try though.

Peppery aroma, tingling on the nose, malt, hint of corn. Clear golden color with small sized white head. Passable, clean, sweet and malty. Watery, soft carbonation. //bottle at Craft Room
Bottle, 0.33l. Clear golden pour, one finger soapy, slightly off-white head. Quickly diminishing, very low retention. Usual nose, quite unimpressive, herbal and grassy, vague tart, loads of cardboard notes.
Mostly thin body, to call it medium would be a bit of stretch. Low to medium carbonation, regular texture. Mildly bitter taste with slight tart. Aroma of planet malts and grassy hops. Dusty, herbal, peppery. Strong cardboard notes. Slightly acidic. Vague honey and tea leaves. Drying mouthfeel. Medium lasting finish, mildly bitter and peppery.
Overall, quite generic and boring brew. Unimpressive.
Bottled 500ml. -from Pivoteka Zagreb. Pale golden coloured, small white head, lively carbonation, mild herbal nose. Herbal hoppy, light fruity and flowery with rather dry bitter finish. Nothing more nothing less than ok.
Bottle at Craft Room. Clear golden body with a small white head. Flowery aroma, light, dry and soft, vaguely herbal. Herbal dry taste, again, somewhat soft, vaguely flowery. Okay light golden ale, no flaws really. I'd drink it again!
Cask at the Three Judges, Glasgow. Late November 2017. Wonderful golden pint. Crystal clear with a good head. Very hoppy
Cask @ The New Inn, Cliffe, North Yorkshire.
Thin straw colour, light white head. Light body. Crisp fruity thirst quencher.
Standard light beer.
Cask at The Holy Inadequate, Etruria. A clear golden colour with a medium white head. Aroma of lemon, some grapefruit, slight grain, a little grass and subtle floral hops. Taste of lemon, grapefruit, slight pineapple, some grain, a little grass and subtle floral hops. Light bodied and soft carbonation. A dryish, floral hop bitterness in the finish. A little thin as expected from a 3.5% golden ale but it’s hoppy with citrus and floral notes coming through a light, grainy malt base. Decent.
Solid pale ale. Nice but boring and pretty weak. A good option if you need to be sober
Tap @ Angleterre.
Poured clear golden color with a thick white head.
Cereals, fruity hops, peachy fruits. Fruity, nice bitterness. Decent. Balanced.
Pint at de Hems. Pours pale yellow, thin head. Crisp, bitter and refreshing, but a little thin. Quenching.
Draught (Kuikka, Helsinki)
Lovely uplifting floral hoopy aroma. Pale, goldish, small loose head. Light palate, a little watery, but with a nice bitter resininess. Simple pale sweetish malts and floral and fruity aromatic hops in the mouth. Super easy sessionable golden ale.
Tasted this in Tennents Bar, Glasgow on the 6th February 2017. Cask, handpump dispense. Opaque pale straw in colour with a thin creamy white head. Fresh green hops present in the zesty hoppy aroma. Thin resiny mouthfeel and good lacing. Pale malt base gives a slight biscuit note but this is lost in the zesty citrus fruit flavours which gives juicy lychees and kiwi notes. Citric taste strong in the dry dusty hop resins which compliment the malt well and add length to the bitter aftertaste. Citrus continues into the bitter finish giving a dry pith note to the palate. A decent session Golden Ale.
0.5 l cask @ Gallows Bird, Espoo. Appearance is clear golden. Despite the low ABV this has some taste. Quite easy to drink and a bit mild, but there is a bitter ending.
tap@kittys (6/2016). pale golden, yellow light foggy. Some citrus, orange peel, pale malty, thin malty nose. Light bodied, slight green hoppy berries, citrus, some grapefruit. A hoppy blond ale. Ok flavours, nothing too special though.
500 ml bottle from Wanstead Tap. Pours pale golden with a small white head. Aroma of hay and honey. Taste is cereal, honey and grapefruit-like bitterness. Sessionable and refreshing, but the bitterness is tad metallic, therefore not very pleasant. Average beer.
Cask @Cloisters, Edinburgh. Pours golden slight haze, slightly off white head. Nose is lemon, bread slight grass. Taste is toffee and thin.
500ml bottle. Clear golden colour with a small but long lasting creamy head. Aroma: pale malt and some hops, grassy, fruity.Taste: same as the aroma, light bitter citrusy finish. Smooth mouthfeel, light body, texture is a bit watery. A nice brew but not a memorable one.
