Young’s London Gold is key member of the Young’s range. As the name suggests it’s a golden beer with a refreshing taste.

London Gold is available as a cask beer and also as a bottle conditioned beer.

The bottled conditioned variant is an unpasteurised, living beer, matured in the bottle for a fuller, more complex, multi-dimensional, fresher taste. With no artificial carbonation, the only fizz is the natural effervescence created by fermentation.

Bottle. Aroma is metallic, stale, yeast. Clear yellow colour, no head. Taste is strongly metallic, with light hint of pale malt and some complementary astringency. Poor.

Pours a slighty hazy golden color with decent white frothy head. The aroma is fruity and hoppy, not too strong. The taste is decently bitter with some fruits present. Smooth and easily drinkable. Nice.

Bottle conditioned. Orange-trüb steht es im Glas, fast weißer Schaum. Geruch ist trocken- ale-typisch, leicht muffig. Im Antrunk zeigt sich das Bier trocken, leicht wässrig mit ale-typischen Tönen. Der Hauptteil ist hefig-mild, ale-trocken, leicht süßlich mit feinherben Einschlägen. Im Nachgeschmack bleibt die aletypisch trockene Note zusammen mit der leicht süßlichen Herbe und mild-weicher Hefe. Insgesamt aber recht mild-leicht.
--> Nettes Bier, dem es etwas an Aromentiefe fehlt, wäre die typische Ale-Note nicht vorhanden, wäre es wesentlich zu wässrig-körperlos. So gerade noch auf der Grenze.
--> Nettes, durstlöschendes Bier im Sommer, ich vermisse etwas Tiefgang und Aromenvielfalt.

500ml bottle. Clear golden yellow colour, thin frothy white head and aroma of light malt, grainy & fruity, with grass and a slightly metallic note. Taste is sweetish malt, grain, fruity and grassy notes, with a light dry bitterness. Light body with medium carbonation. Quite OK.

Mid-yellow, no head. Smells and tastes more like a lager than an ale, especially through its all round sweet character.
