Jul 27, 2005 Bottle from Sinsbury’s. Clear golden colour with persistent white head. Friuty apricot aroma. Good mouthfeel for a pasteurised beer but the taste is a little sweet. Finishes tartly sweet. Not bad.

Jun 21, 2005 bottled and labelled just Border Gold; from Fête de la BIère 2005, Lausanne - clear amber-gold colour with a decent head and a nice lacing, the aroma is mainly flowery but caramel and litchies come to mind too, robust and clean malt palate, a tart bitterness imposes itself before a long dry malty and decently hoppy finish

Jun 15, 2005 Good colour with a thinnish white head that leaves nice rings on the way down. Pronounced hoppy aroma, and they make a major appearance again on the palate, there is however a noticable sugary sweetness on the finish which spoils it a bit for me. A nice brew from the Borders, but not Broughtons best. Tesco/bottle.

Jun 5, 2005 Hazy golden colour with a small white head. Malty, light hoppy aroma. Sweet malty flavor, light fruity and with a hoppy bitter finish.

May 16, 2005 Updated: Jul 3, 2005(Bottle 50 cl) Fully golden, slightly hazy ale with an impressive, huge and very stable head. Quite sweetish and aromatic with only a vey discreet bitterness. A rather surprising and different ale which is also stronger than the typical Scottish ale. And the storytelling on these Broughton bottles is simply great. 190304

Mar 4, 2005 Bought in a 500 ml Bottle.
Dark golden ale with a massive frothy,bubbly pure white head.
A very perfumy/ flowery aroma.Light buttery undertones.
Thick ,sweet almost like the old Football Chews candy I used to get as a child in Scotland.No bitterness to speak off.Alcohol well hidden.
its quite thick and smooth for its style.
Not a bad beer but to be honest one is enough for me..more and i fear it would become cloying

Nov 3, 2004 Looks very much like an English bitter, the aroma is gentle hops with a hint of malts, and the flavour is quite strongly dry with a sweetish finish. Overall OK.
