Wells Bombardier Burning Gold (Bottle)

Brewed by Wells & Youngs
Style: Bitter

Bottled. An amber beer with a lazing orangey head. The aroma has notes of malt, caramel, and elderflowers. The flavor is sweet with notes of elderflowers and straw, leading to a bitter finish. Nothing special.

(Bottle 50 cl) Ever so slightly hazy amber golden with an off-white head leaving laces. Lightly sweet caramel aroma with a whiff of nuts. Medium body, very soft mouthfeel. Malt and a little fruit with a subdued bitterness. Very drinkable and pleasant. 210908

From the Bottle at Chris O’s, GBBF Week 09/08/2008 Carbonation. Golden amber coloured and hoppy with a little bitterness and dryness in a crisp finish.

568ml bottle from Sainsbury. Deep gold colour with thin white head. Cut grass aroma with thin lemon citrusy hop. Well, if this is what an Englishman wants, "bring me my fields of burning gold," then I’m emigrating. Over carbonated, filtered, pasteurised, like most beers that undergo that treatment the malt is stripped and non existant which leaves only the hop to enjoy. and although it’s acceptable the rest of the beer is watery and non existant.
