Young’s London Gold is key member of the Young’s range. As the name suggests it’s a golden beer with a refreshing taste.

London Gold is available as a cask beer and also as a bottle conditioned beer.

The bottled conditioned variant is an unpasteurised, living beer, matured in the bottle for a fuller, more complex, multi-dimensional, fresher taste. With no artificial carbonation, the only fizz is the natural effervescence created by fermentation.

500ml bottle. Clear golden yellow colour, thin frothy white head and aroma of light malt, grainy & fruity, with grass and a slightly metallic note. Taste is sweetish malt, grain, fruity and grassy notes, with a light dry bitterness. Light body with medium carbonation. Quite OK.

Mid-yellow, no head. Smells and tastes more like a lager than an ale, especially through its all round sweet character.

On tap @ Bayswater arms. This is a clear golden one with a small fading white top. The aroma is light malty with a tone of cellar and smoke. The last part could easily be the guy smoking just outside. A bit anonymous, boring and definitely low. It's soft on the carbonation and it has a thin almost watery body. Mild malty flavor, some leafs perhaps? Not really much going on her. Low on the bitterness as well. No, this was not something I have to try again, even if it wasn't any bad flavors here. 20.07.2012

Cask at the Tin Goose, LHR T1 - 24/08/12. Pours a clear gold with thin white head which retained well resulting in plenty of lacing from top to bottom. Malt, grain, honey and a little citrus hops on the nose. Taste pretty much matches nose with a little grass and the honey still evident in the background. Medium boided, slightly overcarbonated leading to a slight bitter finish. First Youngs beer I’d had in a while and I was surprised - not a bad pint!
