I added this listing to differentiate between the draft and canned or bottled product. As the Brains website states:
'[Draft] 4.3% abv* Refreshingly hoppy Welsh Ale. The successful younger sister of the legendary SA, SA Gold was first brewed in 2006 and has been a firm favourite ever since. Gold is a full-flavoured hoppy and refreshing ale brewed with Cascade and Styrian Goldings hops creating citrus aromas and flavours. *4.7% ABV in 500ml bottle and 440ml can format.'
L- Mid amber, slightly hazy, 1Cm fine white head.
S- Mild bready aroma.
T- It tastes rather like a bitter to me, it's quite light, with a hoppy-dry bitter tang in it's tail.
F- Good carbonation in the mouth. Together with the Taste^ it should make a good summer or session beer.
O- Pleasant enough, nothing notably wrong or lacking, though nothing particularly notable to give reason to look out for it again.
Bought from a convenience shop in east Oxford. 500ml bottle. £2.49.
