COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
First Gold is named after a characteristic type of hops, which gives this new Semper Ardens en fresh spicy aroma marked by dry apricot and notes of light smokyness. The flavour finishes with a intense bitterness caused by the big dosage of hops, which is elegantly is balanced by the burtonised brewwater - water with the same salt and mineral composition as in the english Burton-on-Trent. The beer is brewed on english alemalt from Lothian & Borders at the border of England and Scotland. Togehter with a touch of caramelmalts this gives First Gold a light nuttybrown colour and a touch of nuts, which harmonize with the melonish fruitflavour. Enjoy the beer at 6 - 8 degree Celcius.
