Golden Bay takes its name from the most popular beach on the North West coast of Malta. It's famous for the golden dunes that surround it, and the treacherous undercurrents in the winter months. Golden Bay is a blonde ale brewed with utmost attention to balance and drinkability: it offers a smooth persistent head, delicate floral aromas, a bready, sweet malt profile and a light bitter finish. The perfect beach beer.

Bottle. Pours nearly clear lightish amber with airy off-white head. Clear aroma of malt and yeast, with notes of fruit and hops. Sweetish, malt and fruity flavour, with citric and hoppy notes and touches of yeast. Estery and cotric aftertaste with grainy hints. Reasonable.
