Gold is a medium strength Australian Wild Ale best enjoyed in good company. Delicately balanced, gold shows notes of pepper, fresh hops, lemon zest and stone fruits. The palate is effervescent and bone dry with a subtle spicy bitterness, pillowy body and developing acidity from the indigenous flora. This beer undergoes a warm primary fermentation in wide vats before being transferred into French oak barrels for maturation. Barrels are then selected and blended to meet our desired character before being packaged and naturally bottle conditioned for a minimum of 12 weeks for ideal carbonation. Only then do we release this unspiced wild ale to be enjoyed at table with your favourite foods and best of friends.

Fruity, tart taste with notes of citrus, grapefruit, vinegar, oak wood, white wine, herbs and a mild citric bitterness. Medium body, dry. Tart, woody and really tasty. Great beer!

On tap at Port Street Beer House, pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma is complex and buggy, with plenty of oak, light bugs, and some barnyard funk. Flavour is a bit jumbled, with all sorts of mixed bugs, restrained funk, and lots of woody oak. Buggy, oaky, and blended well. It's certainly good.

11 September 2021. At Summer Belgian Beer Geek Gathering. Many thanks, Klaas & Liesbeth, cheers to the whole crew!
Hazy yellow, thin, off-white head. Aroma of green apple, pear, plum, yellow kiwi, gooseberry. Taste has sour plum, gooseberry & kiwi, soft lactic touches in a herbal-spicy middle. Tart, fruity finish, bit woody, yellow fruits & stonefruit lingering. Medium body, slick texture, average carbonation. Fairly decent tribute to Belgian Sours.
