Commercial Description:
Cask; Regular.
NOTE: Only ratings for the cask version should be entered here. The pasteurised bottled version has a separate listing.
SA Gold is a full-flavoured, hoppy and refreshing golden ale, brewed at the home of the famous Brains SA in Wales. Careful use of Target hops creates a satisfying bitterness, perfectly balanced by vibrant citrus aromas and complex hop flavours from late-hopping using Cascade and Styrian Goldings. A deliciously satisfying and refreshing pint!

Cask at GBBF 08. Clear gold in colour with a similar honey nose to the standard SA. A very solid golden ale but I actually prefer the SA.

Cask (JDW’s, Ickenham)
Pale orange, small head. Tea and caramel aroma. Fruity sweet light malt, some gentle hops. Drinkable and refreshing, but uninspiring.

Handpulled cask at Lloyds no 1 (JDW) Watford. I was expecting much more from this beer. Pleasant but unexeptional.

Cask @ The Elephant & Castle, Kensington, London.
Pours golden with a slight haze. A staying, bubbly, white head on top. Aroma is lightly spicy, subdued malts and good pine hops. Low carbonation, fine mouthfeel. Flavour is lovely bitter, fruity and pine-like. Light doughy character and good dryness. Nice session beer.
