PJClarke (592), London, Greater London, England May 24, 2009 Old Bottle:
Bit excited. Amber big white head. Sweet, slightly honeyed aromas with a good fruitiness to them. Quite yeasty. Very nice bitterness and crisp cereal flavours. A little caramelly. Tingly carb, great hop character. I quite like it. hughie (3015), Bedford, Bedfordshire, England Apr 26, 2009 Cask at Wellington Arms, Bedford. Gold with a small white head. Sweet breadiness in aroma and taste with a bit of spicy biscuit and a mid bitter finish. ’Sort of like Carlsberg,’ I heard someone say. So no danger of anyone confusing this with bitter, as the name suggests. yespr (11613), Copenhagen O, Denmark Nov 29, 2008 From cask at Stockbridge Tap. Pours almost clear and golden yellow to orange with a small white head. Mild breadish to wheaty aroma. Flavour is mild acidic and wheaty with a ligt breadish note beneath. Smooth and fruity finish with a light citric bitterness coming through. renffisch (490), london, Greater London, England Sep 24, 2008 cask at ealing bf 08. smells of completely and utterly stale bubblegum. golden colour, thin white rim. very hoppy-ish, sweet, strange and odd. bland but drinkable. cgarvieuk (4159), Edinburgh, Scotland Aug 17, 2008 Cask at GBBF 2008 ...light yellow ... bright hop ... dry hop .. little fruity ... little bitter .. joe19612 (672), camberley, Surrey, England Aug 16, 2008 Cask at GBBF 2008. Pours a pure gold colour with a good grassy hop aroma. Plenty of fruit in the taste with a good hoppy finish. Magicdave6 (5383), London, Greater London, England Aug 12, 2008 Cask at Ealing beer fest. Aroma is pale quite sweet malts, with grassy hop. Taste is similar, i find it pritty bland and unexciting if quite drinkable. Ethereal (1500), London, Greater London, England Aug 9, 2008 Cask at GBBF 08. Golden yellow with great condition, this has a strong grapefruit and peach aroma. It’s almost too fruity - it has almost the intensity of a fruit vinegar. Very bitter and refreshing, this is a very good lager and extremely drinkable. To echo Mes’ comment, if only macro lager brewers made stuff as good as this.
