Hogan Sampling | | 08 Aug 2024 | Low on carbonation but with some fine hoppy flavours in this pale and nice dry aftertaste. Apparently only its second night on. |
Hogan Sampling | | 02 Aug 2024 | In very fine form and a superb dry, hoppy finish that lingers and makes it very moreish and so stuck to it for whole visit. |

Ian | | 04 Sep 2008 | I had a half of all three beers one. This is more my kind of style of beer and glad I had it once more whilst it's still available. |
Ian | | 23 Jun 2008 | Chris said that this barrel had been excellent and it was getting near the end. I had the last 2 pints. This was a bit maltier than the two versions I've had before, a bit more like the Fine Light than the Gold Star. Tasty. |

Pedro | | 20 Oct 2012 | This was the Green Hopped version, very nice flavour. |
Andrew | | 22 Jul 2010 | Excellent condition. Fruity and light with a kind of mild Goacher's Gold Star about it. |
Andrew | | 20 Jul 2008 | Like buses, I don't see this for 6 months and then 2 come along at the same time. In fantasitc condition. Light and refreshing with a good lemony hop finish. There's no real body to this though and I was left feeling I'd just drunk a german lager. |

Andrew | | 18 Jul 2008 | Pale straw coloured beer. Quite spicy which implied to me that it just needed to mellow a bit in the barrel. Slight hint of Goacher's Light but mainly it tasted of Gold Star without the malt. |
Brian | | 17 Jul 2008 | Bright golden beer. A bit of fierce tang and a foamy head. Excellent condition. |

Ian | | 07 Jun 2008 | As good as the previous day and the second best beer of the festival behind the Dark Star APA |
Ian | | 06 Jun 2008 | Clear gold, lasting white head. That's excellent. Just great condition, bit creamy and lovely hops. One of the best Goacher's beers. Just lovely. Like Gold Star but as a bitter strength, same flavours, just less alcohol. I had it twice this evening and again on the Saturday. |
