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.

Blend #9. Pour from a bottle at Wildflower Taproom, Marrickville. Pours pale hazy yellow gold, white head with lacing. Aromas of yeast, straw, peach, citrus, pears, light funk. The taste follows the aroma, in addition it’s dry & lightly spicy with soft acidity. Medium bodied, soft carb. Dry, mildly funky finish. Much potential here

Blend 3. Clear pale gold with a white head that doesn’t last all that long. 3+ Aroma is funky but not feral, with mellow citrus, pears, flowers, spices, nectarines, a little honey. Light bodied, carbonation is lowish but not too low for me. A little slightly damp hay and nectarine sweetness, pears squished in your fist right now. Mildly spiced bitter finish is fairly dry. Self effacing to a degree that I wondered whether it might feel a bit watery by the second glass, but not at all - the mild astringency crept up just a bit and the beer maintained enough of a presence. Impressive. Second glass -- a bit cloudy, but fine -- matched well with Woombye Blackall washed rind cheese.
