McGargle		09 Aug 2014	JUst the job on a sunny summer's evening. Good malt body and plenty of quenching hops.
McGargle		31 Oct 2009	Really enjoyed this very light straw coloured ale. Light floral aroma and crisp, dry hoppy flavour with just enough body for mouthfeel. Served in perfect condition.

Ian		18 Jun 2005	Blond citrusy and hoppy. Nice beer
Martin		18 Jun 2005	Straw coloured beer is hoppy all the way through with a nice bitter edge. I'd like to see this more often
Andrew		17 Jun 2005	Very pale yellow with a strong alcohol taste and bitter with a tart edge. Osset is always a winner
Ian		17 Jun 2005	Pale gold beer. Hoppy citric blond beer reminiscent of so many of Ossett's superb range. Bit sherberty with long bitter citric acidic finish. Some pine nuts. Lovely
