Storm Golden Ale

Number two from Storm, who with a bronze ale and a lager of some description from memory seem heavily stacked in the mid-range light drinking beer genre.

Bit more substance in the head as compared to their pale ale but still a bit weak in colouring. Visible aeration.

It's a something-nothing sort of beer this one.. there's a slightly golden (ie caramel / sweet malt) nose but not a lot else going on. Taste-wise it's much the same story, the elements of a golden ale have been assembled here to an extent but it's as if you're squinting at it from a distance, it's all rather indistinct and as a result, unsatisfying.

This is not a failure of a beer but I'd like to see them step up the malt presence to give it some heart and differentiate it from the pale ale and the rest of the stable further also.  4.0
