Gold is a beer to treasure. Made with a blend of Caramalt and Maris Otter malt and brewed using lashings of English Fuggles hops for fresh vitality and distinctly herbal, earthy notes, if you’re searching for a beer full of character, ‘X’ marks the spot.

2nd September 2007. On tap. Slightly watery palate. The hops provide an orangey undertone. Light carbonation. Actually not that bitter.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of bread, caramel, and straw. The flavor has strong notes of elderflowers, as well as notes of malt, bread, and caramel, leading a very dry finish.Thanks yespr for sharing.

Bottle, 4.7%. Mild buttery and hoppy aroma. Hazy orange colour. Small white head. The flavour is mildly hoppy, hint of caramel and grass. Not so exciting.

(bottle) Hazy, orange-golden colour with a short but dense eggshell-coloured foamy head. Citrus-fruity and zesty, slightly flowery hoppy aroma with a moderately sweet (cara-)malty background. Sweet-bitter flavour, light to medium body with a soft carbonation. Initially (cara-)malt-accented, minimal chalky taste with fruity and spicy hops with a lasting and well-rounded slightly biscuity malty and fruity hoppy finish. Good (09.VIII.09).

[500ml bottle from Dad - cheers!] Pours a slightly cloudy pale amber-orange with a moderate and lasting cream head. Very little carbonation. Fresh honey-sweet aroma with farmyard hints. Flavour is of sweet malt, straw, summer fruits (made me think of nectarines, rather unusually) with some slight notes of garden mint. A good earthy bitter finish. If I hadn’t have known otherwise in advance, I would have thought that this was cask ale - an impressive achievement for what appears to be a pasteurised bottle. A very good beer indeed - recommended.
