Commercial Description:
SPEIGHT’S® Gold Medal Ale is a full strength bitter ale with a hint of “grassy” undertones that add to its complexity. The use of SPEIGHT’S® malts and hops produces the full flavour that has been synonymous with the Pride of the South since 1876.

A caramel colored beer with a fine though collapsing white head. The aroma is of straws and hops with hints of caramel and sourness. The flavor is a weird flowery one with notes of caramel, hops, figs, and hints of sourness.

(Can 33 cl) Courtesy of Bov. Clear, amber golden with a dense, off-white head leaving some lacework - far from your typical pale lager look. Lightly sweet, malty nose. Fairly light body with weak caramel notes and a lightly bitter finish. Drinkable but rather bland. Oh sweet memories.... 290607

Bright golden-amber colour. Aroma is light bread, caramel and slightly earthy hop. Quick, kind of watery palate with a crackerlike malt note and late caramel sweetness.

From 33 cL can. Pours golden yellow with a white head. Aroma is mild grassy. Flavour is watery, mild malty flavour, no real bitterness.
