wheresthepath Profile

Bottle from Gloucester Services. Deep gold with a white head and a light to moderate fizz. Decent mouthfeel, impressive for a 3.5% brew. Caramel and lemon up front, followed by some marmalade and a touch of green, leafy hop. Rather enjoyed this; too many modern pale ales focus too much on the hops, and forget about the balance and satisfaction that malt flavours can bring to a beer; this one balances the malt and hops very well. Nice one.

Can from HOTM. Pale gold with a very light haze and a thin white head. Lovely lime flavour up front. Light tropical notes, lemon squash, bread and floral flavours follow. However, I found the bitter herbal finish rather too astringent and it rather spoilt the beer for me. Shame.

Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading. Mid gold colour with a white head. Had this straight after JW Lees Gold, and whilst they're quite similar this one seemed rather insipid in comparison. There's some floral notes, a wisp of lemon and some white bread. It's inoffensive at best, but tending towards the thin and bland.

Gold from J.W. Lees

6.5/10 — Appearance 7 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5

Cask at the Back of Beyond (JDW), Reading. Rich gold colour with a white head. Lemon, white bread and a touch of caramel. Just the right amount of bitterness. Reasonably full mouthfeel. A very traditional gold that's actually quite alright (if a little unexciting).
