General Thoughts:

London Gold is a great, really refreshing beer. This beer has a great citrus note to it, taste of lemons or grapefruit. There is a slight bitterness to this beer, but its not overly bitter and it goes from being bitter to a slight sweet note. There is medium carbonation on this beer, which makes it an easy to drink beer. This is also a very smooth beer, which will leave you refreshed and thirst quenched. London Gold is a beer that you could drink a good few of. You wouldn't get overly bloated and it leaves your mouth feeling refreshed. This is a really well balanced beer which is a great thing to get in a beer. This is a bottle conditioned beer which means there is slight sediment in the bottom of the bottle so be sure to leave that in the bottle. I was very impressed with this beer and would highly recommend this beer to all my readers. If your looking for a great, refreshing beer that you could drink at any time of the day or year this is the beer for you : ) !!!

Waggle Dance is a nice clean, crisp, refreshing beer that is nice on the palate and easy to drink. This is a smooth beer with a slight bitterness, however there is also a slight sweetness to the beer, due to the honey added.

Banana Bread Beer

Brewed andBottled:
Wells & Young's Brewing Co. Ltd, 
Bedford, United Kingdom,

500ml

Taste: 

Smooth, Subtle taste of Banana, 

Mellow, Fruity after taste, slightly sweet

Colour:

Light Brown, Caramel Coloured

Odour:

Strong smell of Banana, Fruity

GeneralThoughts:

 A very palatable, surprising beer for me. Before I tried this beer I wasn't expecting to like it, however I really did. The taste of Banana is very subtle, in fact the aroma of Banana is much stronger than the taste of it. It was a smooth beer with no bitter after tones. This beer also tastes remarkably mellow for a slightly stronger beer. On the whole a very nice mellow, easily drinkable beer, with an interesting twist with the Banana,worth its price.

€2.99 ( Basedon Dublin Tesco 27/10/2012)

General Thoughts:

Overall this is a pleasant beer that leaves a slight bitter and hoppy after taste. Not to alcoholic in flavour, mild and mellow. On the whole this is a very mild beer but does have a nice flavour to it. I would say that this beer is worth the money that you would pay for it, however it doesn't really stand out for me. On the whole its a nice beer, however no outstanding flavours or attributes that would draw me to buy it on a regular basis.
