By using caramel malts we achieved a golden coloured beer which thanks to its American hops, including El Dorado, and utilising Californian fermentation principles, has a full flavour and a fresh citrus and flowery aroma. Just as the first gold diggers caught the gold fever, one glass of California Gold will have you coming back for more.

Bottle from ABC Beers, Den Haag. Poured a clear medium amber with a frothy white head. The aroma is floral medicinal hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a dry yeast, light caramel light hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation.

Bottle. Dark golden color. Aroma of sweet caramelised malt and grain. Mild flavor of sweet malt, iron and a little buttery caramel. Really boring.

33cl Bottle, thanks Chris&Suus! Murky amber colour, beige bubbly head. Aroma of yeast, some grass, herbal notes, caramel. Flavour is sweet, yeasty, spicy, fruity, herbal bitter finish. Light bodied, over- carbonated. Not very good.

Bottle @ home. Clear amber color, fizzy off-white head that diminishes almost instantly. Smell and taste malts, caramellized fruit, lightly sweetish. Nothing wrong with it really but not very interesting either. Decent beer though.

Bottle. Clear Amber with small off white head that disappears completely after a minute. Very dominant caramel, light herbal notes but not in a fresh and nice way, more a bit musty or even cooked. Some red apple and a bit of roasted peanuts. Mainly sweet with light bitter finish. Medium bodied and light carbonation.

Bottle @THT Jan 2015 courtesy of ABCBeers. Not sure what style this was meant to be. The label promises an American pale ale but we didn’t get much hoppiness. No head. No carbonation. Hazy amber pour. Needs more hops and carbonation Good first effort though
