Crouch Vale Brewers Gold

Cask. Golden color with a white head. The taste is a smooth and full body. Has a nice hoppy nose and palate. Very nice.

Cask : The Seven Stars, Holborn. An easy drinking light yellow beer with lots of hops and citrus fruit undertones. I got orange and greatfruit. Lovely!

Blond color, no head. Wonderful fruity/hop aroma. Flows easy in the mouth, and despite the low alcohol it’s malty enough, but the hopping is delicious. I love it!

Cask at the Woking Beer Festival. Yellow with modest head. Excellent citrus hop aroma and a bit floral as well. The taste is rather complex with hints of citrus and apples. a champion bitter it is.

A lovely refreshing brew that could possibly convert (UK brewed) lager drinkers to beer.

Missed this at the 2005 GBBF, so was pleased to catch up with it at The Bedford Festival. The aroma was floral hops, but not dominant. Perhaps it was served a bit too cold? Taste for me was dominated by waxy honey with a hint of fruit, followed by a medium bitter, long-lasting finish. 10.7.07 Cask at Wellington Arms, Bedford. Noted a hint of violet on the aroma and a distinct taste of ginger.

Cask at the Kingston Arms, Cambridge: Pours a pale clear golden with a thin, wispy white head. Aroma has some semi-sweet, lightly toasted caramel notes and floral hoppiness. Body starts full and flavorful with a nice balance of grassy, earthy hops and sweet malt. A very smooth, refreshing and drinkable ale.

Huge fresh floral and citrusy hop nose. Clear golden body with lasting cover of white head that coats the glass. Fresh clean malt profile showcases floral, grapefruit hop flavour with just a hint of liquorice. Fair finishing bitterness. Light, refreshing body with moderately lively carbonation. Cask at GBBF 2005.
