Inspired by the famous Lakeland fell-walker Alfred Wainwright, our master brewers go the extra mile too. They search near and far for quality English malt and hops and tirelessly craft unique combinations worthy of the Wainwright name, like this delightfully refreshing Golden Beer. Lightly hopped with subtle sweetness, a delicate citrus aroma and a gloriously golden colour. Enjoy.

Bottle via Lidl, SK. Moderate body, med-thin carbonation. Quite clean. Light sweetness, with honeyish grainy malt flavour. Moderate bitterness, with subtle grassy herbal hops character. I actually taste the hops, which is the first time after making my way through half of the 13 beers in the Lidl ale boxes. Also lacking any major off-flavours, only light cooked corn. Good, easy drinking.

500ml bottle. Pours a dark golden with a light head. A citrus and hop aroma. Firstly the mild flavours of malt and sweet caramel then a distinctive citrusy note with a clear bitterness kicks in and trails in the back of throat. Mild carbonation. Decent.

Bottle as a gift. Mid- to dark gold and clear with a tiny bit of white head. Metallic and grainy aroma, some lemon. Tastes sweet with a touch of bitter in the finish. Quite a bit more lemon peel in the finish. Mild carbonation. It's not the best beer in the world, and I prefer the cask version, but I found it surprisingly pleasant.
