A rich amber ale with a deep malt presence from English Maris Otter and chocolate malts. Amarillo and Cascade hops provide a distinctive citrus fruit aroma and a clean bitterness to finish.

330 ml bottle at a restaurant in the Brick Lane area. Golden? Closer to murky brown body with a dense tan head. Mild aroma of fruity yeast, hint of caramel and light citric. Flavor is fruity, light caramel, a bit spicy and some bitterness. Medium body. Surprisingly tasty to be a golden ale.

Bottle at home in London. Pours dark, matte, amber-brown, somewhat hazy with a bubbly, off-white head. Aroma holds grass, pine, chocolate, nuts, toast and light caramel. Flavor is medium sweet with toasted malts bordering on roasted. There are nips of citrus, bread, caramel, cocoa and pine. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finishes reasonably well balanced. There is a hint of grassy, abrasive bitterness, more toast, pine, and mild leaves. Some traces of nut linger. Actually, it is rather refreshing. The โGoldโ in the title is something of a misnomer, but all in all itโs a nice beer.
