This premium beer is brewed with Suffolk malt to produce a full-bodied golden ale with hints of citrus. First Gold hops provide the pleasing and lasting hop aroma and bitterness for this pleasantly sweet, but dry beer. Gluten free.

500ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Clear light amber pour with moderate sized white head, leaves a lovely soft top and some lacing. Aroma is semi-sweet biscuit malts, grassy, some toffee. Taste is biscuit, toffee, floral grassy bitterness with a light tang. At first it tastes quite astringent but once my palate got used to it was quite a nice biscuity beer. Light to moderate body, fairly smooth and soft carbonation. Far from prefect but I quite liked it.

Deep gold with a creamy, white head that lingers. Herbal aroma with something that might be pears—a bit hampered during sampling due to grill smoke. Taste is bitter with a sweet and tart hint at the finish. Medium-bodied. Crisp, clean feel. Goes down easy. Pleasant

8/7/2020. Sample courtesy of the SHIG, cheers! Pours clear golden with a short lasting bubbly white head. Aroma is sweet, malty, caramel, grain. Medium plus sweetness and light bitterness. Moderate body, oily texture, quite fizzy. Not as good as the non-GF version I’ve tried before but not rated.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Appearance - amber or copper more than gold. Attractive lacing. Nose - oatmeal biscuits and honey. Perhaps a touch of orange zest. Taste - hobnob biscuits. Honey. Palate - chewy in texture. Close to medium in body. Decent chewy taper on the finish. Overall - yeah, pretty good example of the style.
