A: Golden, clear, small head, left some lacing.
S: Citra hop which was quite prominent before giving way to some phenols and rubber.
T: Citra hop was prominent, wasn't bursting with flavour but had subtlety.
M: Smooth texture, slightly watery, low carbonation.
O: Tasted stronger than the relatively low strength, decent session beer.

Drinkable but nothing special, slight citrusy taste. Was part of a mixed box set, wouldn't buy on its own.

500ml bottle. Thin, tasteless and watery. A truly terrible golden ale from Carlsberg/Marstons. Didn’t finish.

L- Pale amber/dark gold, clear, pours with 5mm white head.
S- Mild, but some breadiness.
T- Pretty dry on the front, some balancing body follows.
M- Overall a refreshing beer, it's not that meaty, but for 3.5% it makes a good go of a small foundation stone.
O- Very sessionable, esp for those who want a beer-like beer (no tropical fruits here) without racking up higher ABV%s
Would happily order again when/if I'm planning an easy-going session.
500ml bottle, ordered directly from the brewery. BB: 31/7/2020

Reasonable, thirst quenching, quite smooth and not too much fizz, seems to lose its taste as you progress through the pint. Good for watching sports with. Good for price, picked up for £1 in supermarket. All in all pleasantly surprised, would buy again.

Bottle. Clear straw. Thin frothy head.
Light citrus aroma.
An earthy grainy malt makes itself known upon tasting. Tea. Otherwise the hops again.
Lightweight body.
Might be better on a summers day.

A 500ml bottle with a BB of April 2018. Purchased recently from Morrisons. The label describes it as a golden beer possessed of citrus aromas.
A: Poured into a pint mug. A bright golden colour with good clarity and plentiful carbonation. Produces a large head of creamy white foam that lasts for a few minutes before settling as a patchy surface layer.
S: Aroma of light, fruity hops with hints of grass/hay, floral notes, faint citrus, pale malt and ale yeast. Pleasant but lacking charisma.
T: Tastes of mild fruity hops with notes of light citrus, grass/hay, floral hints, a touch of honey, pale malt and ale yeast. A crisp, subtle bitterness upon swallowing.
M: Mouthfeel is smooth, tingly and dry, with spritzy carbonation and decent body. Aftertaste of mild fruity hops, light bitterness, faint malt and yeast.
O: Decent if not outstanding. Looks alright, while the aroma and flavour are a balanced blend of fruity hops and light malt. Body is OK. Could have a bit more depth to it, but probably goes down nicely on a hot day. Worth sampling.

From Festival de las Naciones. In Teku glass. Playing Magic Duels. Great surprise. Hoppy, with tasty citric-lemony notes without hiding english character. Greatly drinkable, good body for such low abv
