COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Regular.
Although the same alcoholic strength as Stallion, Goldfield is very different. Antique gold in colour and lighter in texture, Goldfield is a very easy beer to drink. Not overly bitter with a good clean aftertaste. This beer won first prize at the Weardale Festival in 1993, Goldfield was awarded Champion Beer at the Alloa Festival.

tombyars (685) - Saltcoats, SCOTLAND - DEC 30, 2011
Tasted this Golden Ale in the Three Judges, Glasgow in September 2006. Cask, handpump dispense. Clear pale straw in colour with a thin white head. Dusty hops present in the short aroma. Thin resiny mouthfeel and good lacing. Pale malts give a light digestive biscuit flavour with citric fruit evident. Strong dusty hop resins give a sharp astringency to the increasingly bitter aftertaste. Finish is tart and very dry with grapefruit peel present. Not my favourite from the Hambleton portfolio.
