COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Special (Gold Medal Ale series) - May 2007.

Gold Medal Ales are produced monthly in recognition of some of the ’greats’ of history. However this month we celebrate our own achievement with a special Silver Medal Ale. On 22nd May 1982 we brewed our first beer. Bridge Bitter. Twenty Five years later we are celebrating our Silver Jubilee with a silver medal ale, brewed in the latest style of cask beers. The beer is golden, brewed at 4.5% abv with English Northdown and American Cascade hops, a beer style that was unthought of 25 years ago that we helped to pioneer. Since 1982 we have brewed approximately 16 million pints and all of them worthy of toasting our success and longevity in a very competitive and changing market.

oh6gdx (16042) - Vasa, - APR 1, 2010
Cask@Pullman Bar (on back of a receipt from 2007). Amber colour, mediumsized slightly off white head. Aroma is floral hops, some honey, nectar as well as mild caramel and some nuts. Flavour is quite much the same along with a rather dry floral/herbal/grassy finish. Quite standard bitter with some honey added.

Ungstrup (23960) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - JAN 19, 2008
Cask at Volunteers Arms, GBBF 2007. A hazy golden beer with no head. The aroma is sweet and very fruity. The flavor is sweet malty again with strong notes of fruit, leading to a slightly bitter finish.

Cask@Beer Hunters
Pale copper brown color, small white head. Flowery hoppy, honeyish nose. Lime, honey, pale malts and flowery hops in the flavor. Late bitterness in the aftertaste. Reasonably good session beer, but not really "anniversary beer" to celebrate.
