Hawkshead Gold is a hoppy, fruity and bitter ale brewed with Maris Otter malted barley, a blend of English and American hops and water from high in the Cumbrian fells. It is brewed at Hawkshead Brewery, in a 17th Century listed stone barn at the head of Esthwaite Water, in the heart of the English Lake District.

Bottle Traci brought back for me from her trip to Cumbria. Thanks baby! Warm copper pour, shiny buttercream colored head with good lace. Very pretty floral hops with a fresh citrus edge, just a hint of vanilla caramel below. Brisk grapefruit hop bitterness with a solid malt backbone. Light palate with just enough weight to be satisfying. Clean, bright and refreshing. In a blind tasting I’m not sure I could tell this from SNPA, and in my book that is high praise!

Bottle from booths, keswick. Aroma is grassy, citrus, really hoppy with a honey pale malt backing. Taste is a similarly very drinkable beast.

If you are into funny labels etc. then you never would buy a beer from this brewer. But luckily I did anyhow, because they make great beer. It’s a dark golden beer with a nice head and a floral, fruity aroma, that is very nice. The flavour matches the aroma and has some notes of roasted malt too and a really nice bitterness.
