Commercial Description:
Barley Days Brewery’s lush Harvest Gold Pale Ale lives up to its name. It has a bright golden body, with a creamy white head, and a surprisingly rich flavour. The mellow blend of light apple, peach, and spice aromas on a pale malt base, is complemented by a hoppy finish that is reminiscent of fresh-cut hay and autumn fields. Harvest Gold Pale Ale is a refined old world recipe with a modern day taste that will brighten your day with its sumptuous flavour.

341ml bottle from the LCBO Clear old-gold color with tinge of red, pale yellow highlights. Lots of head, fine bubbles, medium fine carbonation. Nose is kind of sharply yeasty & faintly sweet. Taste initially a bit yeasty but quite quenching and a little nice hop bite. Solid malt body that is not sticky. Slightly heavier than medium feel. Long plae-malty finish with nice hop bitterness, a fresh sweet-grass quality, At first I felt it kind of leaned to a macro micro, but it’s actually a decently made wonderfully simple EPA.

341 ml bottle from LCBO. Pours a fairly clear orange gold with modest white head, some retention. Nose of spices and light fruit. Flavour is also spicy with a real citrus hop kick. Lingering dry spicy finish. Fizzy carbonation. Wouldn’t call this a pale ale, but it’s ok. Just ok.

Bottle. I don’t know what it is, but something about the hops in this one really turn me off. Decent hops and barley to begin, but a sour, astringent, slightly citrusy finish I find pretty repugnant.

341ml bottle from the LCBO. Pours a nice amber, with a touch of malt in the scent. A touch of hop bitterness, but not much. A "beginners" pale ale.

Another change has been made to this beer. Brewery is now using some water treatment in their pale ale in order to reduce the previously "stunted" hop flavour and balance. Result is longer linger in the hops from start to finish, and smoother malt profile.

Tried in bottle Mar 10/09, production date of Feb. 19/09. Could not finish one bottle!! Poured flat into the glass, no head retention and no lace(and yes the glass was perfectly clean), nice colour though. Aroma DMS, cooked corn /veg, sulphur ?? Astringant flavour right off the bat, bitter not in a good hop way,burnt grain flavour, no percevable hop character for a pale ale.Not really impressed. New equipment, new brewmaster,same beer!!!
