COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Regular. Also available in 660ml bottles at 5.5%.
Somerland Gold is another regular medal winner. If you like your beers golden, hoppy and refreshing then this is for you, but be careful - it goes down quickly for 5%. Pale and Wheat malts are jostling for your attention with Challenger and Northern Brewer hops. At this strength our English yeast leaves hints of honey.

Beer3000 (3727) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - SEP 22, 2012
660 ml bottle @ Christianssand Brygghus. Practically clear, pale golden body with a big white head. Mild grainy aroma with just a hint of floral hops. Quite plain light malty flavor with hint of hops and a little spicy. Medium body and short aftertaste. Light and refreshing, but quite boring actually.

reebtogi (3266) - Edmonton, Alberta, CANADA - NOV 1, 2011
660ml bottle pours a pale golden color with a modest white head and some nice soapy lacing that slides down the side of the glass. Aroma is cereal and hops. Taste is mild citrus and a light nuttiness. Nicely balanced flavors, light to medium body and pleasing mouthfeel with the carbonation. Surprisingly good beer.

Benjii (3049) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - FEB 11, 2012
On cask at The Red Squirrel. Pours a slightly hazy golden colour with a thin white head. Aroma of peach, pineapple and caramel. A nice Belgian yeast character with peach, pine and, pineapple. Nicely bitter with alcohol fairly present and a chewy mouth-feel. Lovely.
