Commercial Description:
First Gold is named after a characteristic type of hops, which gives this new Semper Ardens en fresh spicy aroma marked by dry apricot and notes of light smokyness. The flavour finishes with a intense bitterness caused by the big dosage of hops, which is elegantly is balanced by the burtonised brewwater - water with the same salt and mineral composition as in the english Burton-on-Trent. The beer is brewed on english alemalt from Lothian & Borders at the border of England and Scotland. Togehter with a touch of caramelmalts this gives First Gold a light nuttybrown colour and a touch of nuts, which harmonize with the melonish fruitflavour. Enjoy the beer at 6 - 8 degree Celcius.

660 ml bottle. Fluffy two-finger offwhite head. Orangey-golden with good clarity. Modest aroma of light caramellish malts and earthy and peppery hops. Moderate malt taste, light sweetish, paired with a sharpish, light resiny hopbitterness. A little fruitiness underneath. Medium body. Short bitter ending. Likeable, but lacks some freshness.

bottle, at tasting, faint aroma, looks great, clear orange, white head, flavor is sort of toned down ipa, overall a weak ipa, but in and of itself it is okay. Don’t buy it expecting a strong ipa, you will be severely disappointed.

Bottled. Hazy and deep golden coloured with a medium sized off-white head. Quite mild and soft with notes of hay, pines, and caramel. Ok but a bit boring.

Light amber color. White head. Caramel aroma with some hops. Strong caramel flavour with hops.Some bitterness in the finish, but not too much. A nice beer, but more like a Pale Ale than an IPA.

Aarhus, DK. Bottled. Nice balanced hop floral aroma but it is not followed in same degree in the flavor. However bitterness is high
