Sampler at SK. Gold is a bit darker than most blond sles, suggesting a bit more body? Not a strong smell in this crowd of fellow swearty people. Just some malt and a bit of yeast. But the taste is nice had malty, and not sugary like most blond sles. It tends more toward a light English bitter, perhaps with less hops. But very crisp and easy drinking. I could have gone with this for a whole pint, but there were too mange new-to-me beers I needed to try.
