Feb 26, 2008 500ml bottle from Asda, Ashford. Amber with thin off white head. Why isn’t this golden? Bleached hop aroma with some toffee candy sugar. Some hop/malt balance in mouth. Some floral hop on finish. It’s alright. Got Shep’s yeast character. Can’t help but think that it’s a slightly tweaked Goldings Ale. Hop sting is pretty good on end, but only an ok bitter.

Aug 8, 2009 Bottled (at Chriso’s).
Amber color, steady off-white head. Floral, dry citrus aroma, some toffee - "house aroma" of Shepherd Neame. Toffeish and nutty flavor. A bit fizzy carbonated. Aftertaste is quite quick.

Nov 28, 2007 Bottled, pasteurised, 500ml. From Asda, Leamington Spa, Warks. Amber to gold with white head, carbonated. A homogenised mix of flavours, more a caramel malt than normal for a golden ale which dominated the hops. Pasteurisation hasn’t been kind as the hops taste slightly boiled and the citrus notes have all but disappeared, but its ok as a general beer.

Dec 25, 2009 Dark golden with a small white head. Aroma of citrus and caramel with diacetyl. Sweet and thin caramel flavour with a little lemon peel and bitterness in the finish.

Jan 4, 2008 500ml bottle from Asda. It’s not golden, but it is dusty. There’s a fair awareness of the hop dust in this - but, being pellets, the hops are not fragrant. Being pasteurised the stale bitter dust ends up tasting of dusty cardboard. It’s rather like a Czech lager - a pasteurised beer with little malt, but plenty of cardboard bitterness. Not a lot to recommend it, but it’s not THAT ugly either.

Jan 29, 2009 Bottle picked up at Asda, Peterborough, Camb’s 22-01-09 Pours amber (not really golden?) Aroma is sweet but there is also a little ashtray as weel. Taste is sweet, bit malty its ok and slightly better than anticipated but that’s not really a ringing endorsement, just totted up my score and surprised to see I’ve given it 3.1 must be feeling generous.
