Brakspear Oxford Gold is a remarkably zesty brew, with fresh, citrussy aromas and a firm, fruity flavour. Pale ale malts provide the beer with its gold-gilt shimmer, spruced by a hatful of crystal malts to give body, texture and a delicate honey’d wrap.

Organic Target hops deliver a shamelessly fresh perfume, whilst late hopping with organic Goldings and fermentation by our Brakspear yeasts give Brakspear Oxford Gold a fabulous, fruity finish.

Amber gold with a frothy / creamy white head and a citrusy, hoppy aroma. Sweet, biscuit malt with grassy hops and a touch of citrus bitterness.

500ml bottle. Hazy orange color. Nice fluffy head. Nice aroma of goldings and light bready notes. Flavour is nice and hoppy with a good amount of malty breadiness to balance it out. Wow a super balanced beer, exremely drinkable.

Have you had a half-decent golden ale? Cool, so you know what this is. Looks like a beer should with a good thick head, smells a bit malty, flavour has a bit of the same and some hops and maybe a dash of citric fruit. No more, no less. No nasties, but a thoroughly generic beer.
