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.

Cask, half pint. Guest beer hand pulled at Barony Bar in Edinburgh. Great lacing on the glass. Yellow-golden body. Smell of acid grass. Juicy malts in flavour with notes of sour grass. Bitter finish. Standard and easy to forget [24.11.2008]

(Bottle, Monk’s Café, Stockholm) Golden colour with firm, white head. Fruity nose with apricots, orange peel and fresh hints of Fuggles hops. Fruity taste with apricots and floral, slightly earthy hops in the finish. Some grainy malt underneath. Turns dry towards the finish. Rather light body. Tasty and refreshing.

Cask-conditioned at the Inn on the Green, Bristol 19/2/08. This was at the new ABV of 4.4%. Pale amber with a slight white head. Aroma of orange fruit, caramel and citrus hops. Flavour had a biscuit malt edge before a hoppy, dry finish. Enjoyable.

Bottle from Tesco. A fairly standard bottled bitter. A pleasant gold colour with a decent white head that left plenty of lacing. Aroma of grassy hops with some caramel. The flavour had some doughy malt and citrus hops before a bitter finish. Good.
