Commercial Description:
Cask: Regular.
Brakspear Oxford Gold is a remarkably zesty brew, with fresh, citrussy aromas and a firm, fruity flavour. Pale ale malts provide the beer with its gold-gilt shimmer, spruced by a hatful of crystal malts to give body, texture and a delicate honey’d wrap. Organic Target hops deliver a shamelessly fresh perfume, whilst late hopping with organic Goldings and fermentation by our Brakspear yeasts give Brakspear Oxford Gold a fabulous, fruity finish.

Cask Handpump at the Duke Of Portland, Lach Dennis 30/05/2009 Hop aroma. Golden coloured fruity and a little floral with a crisp and slightly dry full malt finish.

Fittingly at the Oxford. Watching United beat City in a sensible amount of time added on. Again, plain old average English blandness. Just doesn’t excite me at all. Fruity hoppy, little caramel, thick mouthfeel. Nothing wrong with it, just standard.

This beer on cask in the Cotswolds. It had some merits but mostly just came across a light . Light in color, loght in Hops and not very notable.

Cask at the Bricklayers Arms, Putney, 3rd April 09. Clear amber, no head. As the bottle but less lively. Bland as ever.

Cask, The Highcross, Leicester. Hazy gold with a thin head. Aromas are biscuit malts with some citrus and hints of sulphur. Flavour are hoppy and dry with resinous lemon. Bitter grapefruit on the finish. Minimal malts. OK.

Handpulled cask at JDW Stanmore. Good looking pint in fine condition, gold with tight white head. However, I taste no similarity whatsoever to the Brakspears that I remember of old. Despite efforts to reserect origional brewing plant at Witney, this is just another none descript offering from Wychwood. Very dull.

From cask at Food of the Walk. Pours almost clear and golden orange with a small lacing white head. Mild roasted malty aroma. Vague to mild spiced hoppy flavour with a mild bitterness coming through. Light fruity hoppy too. Smooth and bitter finish.
