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.

330ml bottle from Sophie's Beer Store. Golden yellow with a light mist, good white head. Sweet aroma of malt and marigold. Golden rosey super sweet malt character with additional caramel and floral moments. Bit too sweet, but fine overall.

On tap at Franconian Bierfestival, Nürnberg, Thursday 16th June 2022 in the company of Jude, Baz, Ursula, Stefan and Jonas. Pours light amber with a very light haze, super soft a little fudgey, nose is malty, but taste is too fudgey, malty and caramel loaded, not amazing but quite good.

Tap. Murky amber brown, low white head. Farty, fertilizer nose. Medium body, sticky, old hops, light sparkly, cheesecake finish. Not sure this is right.

Tap. Murky reddish brown. Caramel melanoidin. Some banana? Tastes creamy sparkly, soft. Aftertaste is oddly sticky.

Tap. Unclear amber color with off-white head, where's the goldenness? Aroma is hoppy, caramel, earthy. Taste is the same. Natural carbonation, oily mouthfeel. Слава Україні, Путин хуйло!
