Gold was the first beer Buster brewed in Wales, although it has evolved a bit over the years, the ethos is still the same - our best selling and multi-award winning beer.

Bottle from the brewery. It pours clear golden amber with a thick white head. The nose is citrus, grainy, light spice and toasted sugars. The taste is bready, crisp citrus, grain, some underlying sweetness, pepper and some astringency with a dry finish. Medium body and average carbonation. Nothing particularly wrong with, just a fairly regular golden. I greatly prefer the Three Beacons to this.
