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, thanks to djoeye for sharing. A bright golden body, covering white head, spotty lacing. Moderate smell of herbal hops with a citric bite. Saison fruity flavours added by pale malts, and lightly spiced. Rounded malt-fruity finish. Medium plus bodied. Quite alright. (PivotekaH7 rating session with djoeye and Finn, Tromsø 22.09.2020).

Clear, deeper golden colored, small+ white frothy head, not that lasting. Aroma is of malt, fruity esters, some spicy yeasty notes, caramel, some diacetyl. Taste is medium+ sweet malt, caramel, plenty of estery notes, bit yeasty, light spice, even more diacetyl, medium spicy and herbal bitterness, some biscuit, bit of veggies also. Medium bodied, average carbonation, oily. Feels like something went awry in a generally OK brew.

On tap at This Is Pivbar, pours a clear dull golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out subdued Belgian yeast, with some herbal, vegetal notes and crisp biscuity malt. Flavour is loaded with boiled vegetables upfront, with subdued Belgian yeast and biscuity malt. Too much vegetal character. Not good.

Thanks Sandi! Misty golden body with a white head. Aroma... maltienss, grapefruit, pungent and interesting. Soft taste on a full malty backbone, interesting fruitiness, sweetish. Different really, weird even, I could find no descriptors for this, but it was definitely a nice beer.

Dieses Golden Ale erinnert stark an ein belgisches Abteibier und auch die Beschreibung auf der homepage sagt, dass hier die Süße im Mittelpunkt steht und nicht die Bitterkeit. Besonders auffällig ist der starke Geschmack nach Lebkuchen, was es zu einem richtigen Weihnachtsbier macht. Auch wenn es kein typisches Golden Ale ist, dann ist es doch ein interessantes Bier.

Tap at Lisopylka. Almost clear golden. Fruity and estery, with a light yeasty spice. Sweetish fruity taste, pear drops, some astringency and a sharp butter bite in the finish. Weird,regardless of whatever style it is.
