Name changed from Thoroughbred to Thoroughbred Gold in 2007.
Brewed in celebration of Thwaites’ award-winning Shire Horses, Thoroughbred is a light, almost golden beer with a delicate combination of Maris Otter and Pearl malts and a distinctive hoppy aroma derived from the blend of Fuggles and Goldings hops. A quaffing beer if ever there was one!

Cask handpull at Folkestone Wetherspoon’s. Copper colour, lasting cream head. Some butter/hop aroma, yeasty. Nothing much in mouth with dusty finish. Distinctly average in my opinion and on this pint.

[Cask at GBBF 2004] An amber beer with a fine head. The aroma is sweet with notes of malt and some hops, while the flavor is sweet with primary notes of caramel.

Amber; soft body & mild flavours; slight fruitiness (lemon, grape), touch of acidity comes in late.
