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.

Bottle shared at the chriso pre-Christmas tasting 2014 - London. Pours perfectly clear gold with a creamy white head. Papery pale malts in the nose, hay, baked grains. Light sweet flavor, pretty dry, with bits of peach, melon, lemon rind. Light bodied with fine carbonation. More paper to finish, light grains, faint bitter hay. Pretty meh.

Bottle from Oddbins. Appearance - golden amber with a nice head. Nose - toffee with just a touch of fresh herb or citrus. Taste - caramel biscuits, some honeycomb even. Perhaps butterscotch but just faint. Palate - close to medium bodied with a creamy yet crunchy texture and a fairly good finish. Overall - solid but not that exciting.

Pint at the Lion and Snake, Lincoln. Pours a golden colour with a creamy off-white head. Has a fruity, caramel and slightly hoppy aroma, with a fruity malty caramel flavour. There is a touch of hop in the finish.

Bottle. Pours slightly hazy amber with airy but stable off-white head. Clear aroma of yeast and hops, with fruity notes. Bitter, hoppy flavour, with estery notes and touches of fruit and citrus. Mildly bitter finish. Low carbonation. Watery. OK but nothing to sweep me off my feet. Not off as such, even though the bottle is past the BBD. May need re-rating.
