Commercial Description:
Bottle; Pasteurised.
Goldings Summer Hop Ale is a light-flavoured bitter made with Kentish malt and fresh Goldings hops. Harvested from hop gardens within five miles of the Shepherd Neame brewery in Faversham, the beer is almost floral-scented, with a unique biscuity taste.

500ml clear bottle. Poured honeyish amber, frothy and rocky white head, clingy foam. Aroma is clover, marmalade/orange, slight cut grass note (due to clear bottle?). Good zesty citrus hop flavour with malt int he background. Grassy in the finish. Mild carbonation, light bodied.

Certainly not a strong beer. Aroma is interesting but not as powerful as advertised. Very foamy, slowly dissolving head. Colour is a lovely copper. Very lightly carbonated. Hops flavour is very distinctive. Not a bad "sitting on the dock" beer.

weak malty aroma and slight skunkiness. Pours a golden brown, thin head. Chalky, metallic, some hops. Not really enjoyable.

Bottle: Poured an orangey color ale with a big pure white foamy head with good retention. Aroma of bitter hops is quite dominating with some distant malt. Taste is hoppier then expected from an English bitter with the distinctive presence of Goldings hops and a good base of malt. Body is about average with medium carbonation. Better then a lot of English import in clear bottle that we get here.

Bottle. Pours a brownish-copper body with a medium frothy white head. The aroma has caramel and honey sweetness. Fruity flavour with metallic hops and finishing with soft caramel maltiness. Decent.

Fruity, skunky, but not overwhelmingly so, light copper, pours a tiny custard head, some pretty lace. Minty fresh hops, light malt. Light bodied, balanced, crisp, clean. Fine. Thank mds.

Clear amber colour with an off white head. Malty, light sweet aroma with some hoppy fruityness. Malty, light caramel sweet flavor and a hoppy floral note.

Bottle LCBO. Nice copper pour, frothy attractive white head, looks great. Aroma - whoa, smelled that as soon as I cracked the bottle, but thought I would let it sit - this is pure clear bottle skunk, good idea on the bottle guys. Below the skunk, there seems to be a nice earthy hoppiness. Taste is a lot of skunk at first, but then gives way to a very pleasant bitter and malt taste. Man, this seems like it would be a really solid refreshing summer beer, but I’m not going to gamble and try and get a non-light struck bottle. OK.
