About
Creative brewing is all about not sticking to the same old formula. Since 2008 we have experimented with different combinations of hops and ingredients to find both traditional and excitingly new tasting ales. We brew it with the care and attention we believe it deserves. Finest English malt is the base for all Backyard Brewhouse beers but it does not stop there. Combinations with hops such as New Age American, Old English, Slovenian and New Zealand as well as one or two other secret ingredients have helped make all our beers popular and distinctive. We are committed to creating new and interesting beers to sit alongside our range of core and regular products.

Gold from Backyard Brewhouse

6.5/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
500ml bottle (4.5% ABV) at home on 11th June 2017. Misty pour, to the old gold coloured body, off-white crown. Citrus notes to the fore with a tropical spiciness also. Might have chilled it too much, got better as it warmed a little.
