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!

[3186-20100730] Cask. Mild fruity malt aroma. Clear, amber orange body with a quick foamy white head. Fruity malt grain flavour has a hint of yeasty bread in the aftertaste. Medium body. Apparently a best-seller in this pub, it is pretty good. (Plus it’s brewed by Brains! hah!)
