Classic Gold is a crisp, golden bitter with subtle malt sweetness and a refreshing finish. Extra Pale and Wheat malts provide a smooth base, while a blend of First Gold, Brambling Cross, and East Kent Goldings hops add floral, citrus, and hedgerow fruit notes. Balanced and easy-drinking, with a touch of caramel and a clean, gentle bitterness.

Cask@GBBF 2009. Deep golden-amber color, small white head. Dishwater, iron, a bit diacetylic caramelly aroma. Nutty flavor with some pale malts and caramel in the background. Dry, woody aftertaste.

Cask-conditioned at the Rising Sun, S Gloucs 22/4/08. Deep golden colour with a slight, off-white head. Light aroma of grassy hops with a touch of sweet fruit. Flavours of sweet malt and earthy hops before a short, dry finish. Ok.
