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!

<i>Cask at The Barony, Edinburgh. </i> Bronze colour. Sweet and medium bodied. Fruity and streamlined with notes of winegum. Salty finish with low bitterness.

Cask@GBBF2007. Golden colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is grassy hops, earth and slight fruits in aroma. Flavour is bitter fruits, grassy and slightly sweet nectary. Refreshing and a bit boring.

Cask handpull at Folkestone Wetherspoon’s. Gold colour with lasting off white head. Really lovely hop aroma and flavour, reminds me of Summer Lightning when I first had it back in the 90s. Some rose petal and some raspberry fruit and then a gorgeous hop finish. Really lovely.

Very light amber coloured ale covered by a tiny white fading film. Interesting light toasty nose displaying soft cereal nuances and rather sharp, pointy, flowery and even perfumey, rosewater-like hops. Light-bodied. A soft tartish presence ensures freshment and those hops are interesting enough to keep you wanting to be refreshed.

Cask @ GBBF 2007, London. Medium orange color with virtually none head. Aroma is light to moderate malty, toasted, light to moderate hoppy, citrus, fruity. Flavor is light to moderate sweet with a average duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is flat. Okay but a bit borring.
