This lighter style golden ale is crafted for refreshment. Honeyed malts provide a biscuity base that is perfectly complemented by the light citrus aroma from British Cascade hops.

Monument Gold makes a wonderful partner to chicken, salads and light fish dishes.

500ml bottle bought as part of a delivery from the brewery and drunk at home. Middle of the road gold, clear with a small film of whitish head. Light bready aroma, some citrus. Fresh taste, a little buttery, bitterness coming in quickly. Medium body, carbonation on the heavy side. Odd granit aftertaste. Typical golden beer, maybe slightly better than most.

Bottle from the brewery as Monument Golden Pale Ale. Light bodied and light tasting golden ale. Not much to it.

500ml bottle from Chiltern Brewery. Gluten Free. Golden colour, white foam head leaving alittle lacing and citrusy grainy aroma. Taste is malt, grain, some biscuit with fruity tangy citric hop bitterness. Light bodied, soft to medium carbonation, dry tangy metallic bitter finish. Quite OK

500ml bottle. Poured a slightly hazy golden colour with a thin broken white head. The aroma is gluey toffee malt, resin, woody hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a smooth, fresh dry malt, dry woody hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.

Bottle at home, 29/01/17. Pale golden with a decent white head. Nose is pale malts, straw, lemon rind, toasted grains. Taste comprises light caramel, straw, soft malts, orange peel, melon. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a light citric tang. Decent enough golde ... crisp and clean and brewed well if not the most exciting beer in the world.

[500ml bottle from the brewer’s own stand at the Thame Food Festival] Pours deep gold with a mdeium white head and a moderate fizz. Rather lager-y in flavour up front, then some florals and citrus - and unfortunately a hint of vomit. Dry from the off, but as always from Chiltern there’s a good, rich, malty mouthfeel. More florals in the long, slightly bitter finish. One of those golden ales which are crafted to try & tempt in lager drinkers, who will no doubt ignore it entirely & stick to their tasteless megabrands. Unfortunately, the light flavours and hint of lager will mean that it’s also shunned by ale drinkers. So it’s a bit pointless really, plus thehint of vomit put me off. Very disappointing from one of my favourite local brewers.

Bottle purchased from the Kings Head, Aylesbury, Bucks, Saturday 22nd September 2012 consumed at home Sunday 23rd September 2012 Pours light gold, good clarity slim white head atop. Fairly average golden ale, though as with many from Chiltern it us beyond criticism other than for the fact that it fails to excite and is far too safe. Middling bitterness, not to much sweetness, dry, little bit fruity, but lacks a defining character to make it stand out from the myriad of other cattle in the safe MOR golden ale shed.
