Cask at Shrewsbury Arms, Stafford. Pours golden brown with a small foamy off-white head and good lacing. There’s hops and malts in the aroma plus some traces of nuts. In the mouth there is a brief initial burst of sweetness before the bitterness of traditional hops comes through. Flavour also has autumn fruits and a little malt. Later on come traces of golden syrup, corn and peanuts. Bitterness lasts into the finish. This is decent.

Приятный солодовый легкий аромат, хорошее начало для паба. немного зерна и немного сладости. Цвет золотой. приятный, питкий. пенка средняя неплохая, белая. Вкус снова приятны и питкий. Много зерна, не каша. При глотке немного сладости как будто от груши. В целом ничего больше сказать не могу, просто приятный эль.

Bottle 0,5ltr: Like the labels says gold, and thats the colour of the brew. Some fruits and citrus taste, very thirstquenching.
