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.

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.

Draft. Hazy amber-yellow with white foam. Aroma: sweet candies, fruits, peach, a little citrus. Taste is very similar to the aroma, with a touch of sweetness.

(Kiev 2016) Sampled draft @ Wooly Hops. Hazy orange, creamy white. Nose is weird, overly heavy on soap & low apricot hop. Taste is very sweet soap, strange, overly with big white sugar, overly sweet spices, bit bland, thicker soap body & some yeast. Largely just a bit bland luckily, nothing bad but nothing to get really excited about either, too much sweetness & too much soap.
