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.

July 2009: Brown 500ml bottle, one month past its Best Before Date. This is an organic beer and bottle conditioned. Poured into a standard pint glass, most likely a bit colder than it would have liked (it was a hot day), the beer had been left in the fridge a bit longer than it should have been! Mini haze to this tangarine orange coloured beer, plenty of carbonisation rising through to replenish the white foaming head. No lacing, but the head stayed for a long time, so condition of the beer was fine, even though I’d over cooled it. Aroma of spicey hops and yeast esters, some malty smells arrived as it warmed in the sun. There is a tang and pungency to the taste, bitter with an easy mixed fruit feel to it. No trace of any malt in the flavour, but it was sharp, refreshing and invigorating, a good beer for a hot day or night.

Cask at The Volunteer, London. Pours clear gold with a weak, white head. Some light toasty malts in the nose with light, leafy hops. Lightly sweet flavor, dry, leafy, some white sugar and crackers. Light bodied with soft carbonation. Quite dry on the finish, with leafy bitters, faint grass, lightly toasted bread. Somewhat bland on the whole, and the condition seems sub-optimal.
