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 from Beers of Europe. Clear dark amber with small off white top. Biscuit malt aroma with some berry notes. Taste of biscuit, caramel, berries, light floral hopping. Long moderate bitterness. Light to medium bodied but slick with a crisp carbonation bite. Well balanced and enjoyable. [#3638]

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