Creamy-headed and softly glowing this liquid gold is quintessential drink for reminiscing the golden days of the past. With every sip the cherished, bitter-sweet memories (but OK, more sweet than bitter, as this ale is) spring to mind. A perfect glass to toast a journey down the memory lane or a great accompaniment for making new memories to enjoy later. A bit of US hops helps to balance malty character of this beer.

Can thanks to Andy.
Appearance - golden with frantic carbonation and a foamy white head. Light haze.
Nose - flowers, vanilla custard and candied lemon.
Taste - orange, in fact, marmalade, with custard creams.
Palate - light bodied, textured but a little sweet on the finish.
Overall - ok.

Medium sweet bready doughy malts, hay, straw, grass, cereal, light wheaty and more bready notes, light citrus lemony linger into the close. Interesting.

Аромат в меру хмелевой, затем идут сладкие тона от пшеницы, немного даже хвои, но легкой совсем, намеки на мед и бананы. Цвет действительно золотого эля с небольшой пенкой. Вкус и правду как золоотой эль из Бельгии с новыми хмелями. Есть снова пшеница, немного цитруса, снова мед в конце, легкая сладость и горчинка в конце. В целом порадовало.
