Ian		27 Feb 2006	Aroma is a bit eggy. Rest has a citrus strong golden ale aroma and flavour. Bit sweet in mouth with citrus on end.
Ian		26 Jul 2005	Thought about this long and hard. OK so it does not have really distinctive flavours or aromas, but put the whole package together and you have an excellent beer. Good golden colour, white creamy head, good hops and malt, nice creamy feel in the mouth and well balanced well made sense leading to a hop and malt finish. The sum of the whole is greater than the parts. Ersatz?
Ian		24 Jul 2005	Golden beer with creamy white head. Good mix of malt and hop. Bit more malty than the rest of the gold summer citrus hoppy beers.
