This Australian lager has a balanced, smooth flavour and body, complemented by mild bitterness and a trace of sweetness. We give GOLD its signature taste by using golden cluster hops that are brewed with the finest ingredients, such as Australian malted barley and our trademark yeast.

Oh, and we hold onto that fresh natural flavour by never adding preservatives to the mix. Ever.

02.07.2016, It is a typical macrobrewery. It is a nice one when you go out and the heat is high, refreshing, malt, corn, watery, few hop. It was one typical beer going out in Brisbane in 2004 or 2005, at this thime I didn't have an idea of the craft beer because at this time I was not so curious, drinkable one, acceptable.

Clear gold, brief white head which doesn't last. Aroma of sweet malts, touch of caramel. Taste is the same, a hint of toast in the mild bitter finish. I don't mind this actually, its basic but perfectly pleasant.

Older tasting notes from a trip to Australia a while ago. Golden, clear pour with only a small head. Aromas of malt and grain - similar tastes with some grains and a sweet fhish. Frefreshing, but nothing special.

On tap at a Hobart Hurricane match. Pours a clear yellow with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has sweet grains, cookie and a bit of a rice note underlying. Flavor is also sweet with grains, straw, cookie and a bit of a corn finish.

Best by August 20th 2019. Can.

Looks gold enough to me. Pretty fluffy head of foam, lacing is good.

Simple nose of corny grain, some but not enough of that Aussie malt, mild touch of hops.

No surprises in the taste. Light flavours, it is 3.5%abv, of corn/grain, tiny malt sweetness, low presence of hoppy bitterness. Served cold cuz I reckoned that would put it at its optimum.

Pretty decent mouthfeel considering.

Nice to try, once.
