Ungstrup (11075), Frederiksberg, Denmark Oct 6, 2006 [As Loddon Ferrymans Gold at 4.8% ABV - no extra on the label] An orange beer with a huge bubbly orange head. The aroma is sweet and very flowery as well as slightly spicy. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of fruit, flowers, and hops. A nice beer. Papsoe (9999), Frederiksberg, Denmark Sep 29, 2006 (Bottle 50 cl) Comes simply as "Loddon Ferryman’s Gold" - no "Extra" but at 4.8% ABV. <!-- br -->
Pours a clear, fully golden with a somewhat rough, off-white and dissipating head. Aroma of nuts and a touch of citrus. Rather extreme carbonation. Medium-bodied with some odd, unclean underlying malty accents. Some citrus - sort of vitamin like - and a whiff of metal. A dry finish. 280906 dnas2 (524), Yelverton, Devon., Devon, England Jun 24, 2006 Cask Handpump at The Wellington, Birmingham. Golden, with no head. Slightly fizzy on the tongue, orange aroma and very bitter. Lovely stuff. Mungo (2474), Southampton, Hampshire, England Sep 30, 2005 Gravity @ Guide Dog Beer Festival, Soton. Masses of lively zesty aromas- citrus fruits, pineapple, mango, floral honey and spice. The fruity characteristics are to the fore with soft malt underneath. A touch of sweetness but incredibly well balanced by the fruity hop burst on the tongue. Full for a golden ale but incredibly drinkable. An excellent beer with all the elements blending seemlessly together.
