It's more golden than it looks in the picture, but I can't seem to get my camera to give a good likeness unless it's broad sunny daylight 🤷‍♂️
I know exactly what you mean, i have had a few, that have been a cracking gold colour, as soon as you take a pic it looks nothing like the golden goodness lol.
 
Good old Aldi! Hoping this will be nice, fingers crossed!

Reasons I bought this:-

1. So I could check the flavour as I’m planning a gooseberry and elderflower sparking wine

2. For the clear glass bottle. Hubby also helped out with the bottle situation by buying some newky brown and old speckled hen as well. What a shame! 😂

Just been searching through the utensils drawer for the bottle opener and couldn’t find one, but then looked up and forgot we had this on the side of the fridge! It’s quite handy really. Was a present from the son! Good lad! 😂

This wasn't tonight but @dan125 kindly shared his Westie beer which I had a few nights ago and it was rather yummy. I don't have all the technical terms to describe beer tasting, and for me beers taste very different at different temperatures so will try cold and make notes as they warm up.

Colour Soft orange amber with a contrasting creamy white head that lasts a bit longer than expected and holds the aroma in the glass. the picture in the kitchen looks a bit dull but it was a lot brighter than that, I rather liked the amber colour.
Initial tasting at 4 deg C,
Aroma Pineapple and lychees with a yeast zest in the background
First taste Citric fresh almost sharp with the carbonation , middle: bitterness without astringency. Lime and gooseberry predominates with a smooth rounded bitterness.
Ends on bitter stone fruit like nectarine but without the sweetness.
I felt that the initial fizz did overwhelm some of the lighter fruit flavours but the carbonation did fade fairly quickly which I liked.
Overall very refreshing, a good summer day beer. As the beer warmed to about 10 -12 degrees some of the lychee taste fades with the stone fruit taste predominant. I liked this best fresh from the fridge when it held onto the lighter aromas.
