Crouch Vale Brewers Gold

Slightly diisapointing. Transparant golden colour. Nice hoppy tropical fruit aroma. Taste very dissapointing. Thin, sour aftertaste and lingering biterness. Not a patch on Brewers Gold Extra

Lemon biscuit! I used to be a big fan of this beer, but it doesn’t seem to pack the same punch at the moment. It didnt have much condition to it and had a bit of a medicinal flavour.

Cask (Gallows Bird, Espoo, Real Ale Festival 2007). Very floral sweet bitterness, excellent session bitter. Beautiful to me, but hard to pinpoint why.

cask @ london drinker 07. I had this one marked with a star as a must-try and I was sorely disappointed! Very pale yellow w/ white head. Nice nose of lemongrass, hops and fruit. Bitter grapefruit, floral perfume and dishsoap in the taste. Honestly, I don’t get it. What’s so great?
*Re-Rate - Cask @ The Pride of Spitalfield.
You can’t even imagine how happy I am that my palate has evolved...A few months ago I slagged this off but,Oh My, how wrong I was...
Golden with a lasting white head, left a nice lacing on the glass. Great conditioning at The Pride by the way, I love the way it clouds up when you swirl the glass. Grassy, floral hops with tropical fruits, orange, pineapple and grapefruit in the nose. Again tropical fruits in the taste, almost like a juice blend with orange, banana, pineapple, hops and some malt rounding it off. Last night I drank two pints in halves, each time saying this was my last, and returned tonight, on my way home from the gym, for two more...Well balanced, delicious and only five mins walk from mine...Score!

Cask conditioned at the Seven Stars, London WC2 January 2007. Golden coloured, with powerful fresh hoppy aroma of citrus fruits. Flavour was driven by hops as well - dry and refreshing with a smooth finish. Extremely drinkable.

Golden in colour with a fruity hop nose.hoppy bitter grapefuity with a little sour linger on tongue... TK 2 ...Nice fruity bright hop ... soft and fruity ... bitter grapefruit linger.

Cask @ Real Ale Festival, Gallows Bird, Espoo. Wonderful aroma, honey wood and pear. Very pale, medium head. Very fruity, almost like a lambic-feeling to it. Except for the lacking bubbles.

On cask. Old Cannon in BSE. An incredibly smooth and well produced beer but i was little underwhelmed given that this was champion at GBBF06. Soft and fruity and very easy to drink. The condition wasn’t optimal but i would be happy to try this again.
