Manual Labour Beer Co. That’s Gold – Golden Ale at 4.6% ABV (2024 BeerAdvent Calendar #17, 473 ml, no packaging date or best before, acquired 23-Nov-2024, reviewed 17-Dec-2024)
Appearance: hazy medium gold with two fingers of fluffy pale ivory head, excellent retention and moderate soapy lacing. (3/5) Aroma: bready malt, floral, hint of citrus. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate bitter. (6/10) Palate: medium body, moderate-lively carbonation, medium duration slightly astringent finish. (3/5)
Doughy yeast dominates this, with a hint of citrus (or maybe berries) underneath. The flavour is fairly unremarkable, and there’s a slight but unwelcome sharpness through the finish. Just dull. (12/20)
This will be my 6,048th unique Untappd check-in.
6/10 #ryansbooze ryansbooze.com
