| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 1, 2004 I didn’t think this was very typical golden ale. The colour was a little dark - more orange/copper than gold - and the aroma was more malty than I expected. Fruity flavour, again with plenty of malt and slight nutty hints. Although there’s some hop presence, its not very bitter. Clean, but quite chewy, mouthfeel. Some initial sweetness, but becomes dry on the finish. There’s quite a lot going on here and it all comes together rather well. The relatively high alcohol level is well hidden. Nice. Cask (gravity) at Twickenham Beer Festival.
