Traditional premium ale, light golden in colour. Noticeable floral dry hop aroma balanced with biscuity and fruity notes. Full bodied with a medium bitterness and a rounded, smooth, hoppy flavour. Hints of melon and pear. A clean finish with some hoppy linger.

"Really a bitter bitter. Charaterized as a strong ale but only 5%. Okay apperance and a bitter aroma that emphasies the flavour. Starts hoppy on the tongue but gets very bitter. A touch of carbination. Aquired taste"

[2] Review by OrvalPlease from Orland Park, IL, USA who has tried this beer once. (12/27/2005 1:11:12 PM)
"Dark golden color with a light head. Aroma was as you would expect, a bit of hop, a bit of malt and some yeasty fruitiness. Flavor was a bit of a rollercoaster - starts out almost too sweet then finishes almost too bitter. The almost is key - the two extremes are within bounds, makes for an interesting pint. The bitterness sneaks up on you and gradually builds up. "

[3] Review by Sigmund from Hafrsfjord, Norway who has tried this beer once. (3/14/2005 6:16:22 AM)
"(500 ml bottle). This is really just a decent English bitter with a bit more alcohol. Other raters claim that the bottle is more heavily hopped than the draught version - that might be true, at least the golden beer in front of me has a lovely hoppy aroma and a nice bitterness. Good head. Rather light bodied (too light?), which makes the brewery advertize it as "deceptively drinkable". Very refreshing it is, would like to sample the draught version too."
