Commercial Description:
Cask; Seasonal - Summer & Autumn. Also available bottle conditioned exclusively at the Co-op as Gold Miner.
Winner of two awards in the 1998 beauty of hops awards, this beer was especially brewed to use the "first gold " variety of hops, it has been described (by the award judges) as "orange peel and apricot blossom blended together beautifully" we prefer to say that it is an incredibly hoppy golden beer well suited to all "hop heads" everywhere.
Ingredients: Water from natural sources under the Royal Forest of Dean; Barley grown in the Cotswolds and malted by Warminster Maltings; First Gold whole hops grown in the "Three Counties"; Yeast.

Orange with a low head. Aroma is mildly roasted - like biscuits. Sweet caramel-flavour with a slightly citric finish. Soft and round.

Bottle 500ml. [ As Co-op Gold Miner ].
Clear medium yellow orange color with a small, fizzy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, off-white head. Aroma is light moderate malty, toasted, roasted. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average duration. Body is light to medium, texture is watery, carbonation is soft. [20090807]

Bottle. [thank you, Harrisoni]
Pours hazy orange with a small, creamy, white film head. Aroma is lightly flowery, some grassy hops, and sweet pilsner and caramel malts. Medium carbonation, fine dry mouthfeel. Flavour is sweet malty with a fair dose of piney hops. Rather simple, yet quite drinkable.

Since in Scotland at the moment (English Ale, do): A: IrnBru colored, light foam (disappearing quickly) S: Hops T: Hops of course, citrus, perhaps a dash of cherry. A lovely ale, I recommend it to you all! Sorry folks in Sweden - can’t be found in Sweden. Serving type: bottle Reviewed on: 04-18-2009

Faint malty and hoppy aroma. Pale amber with little head. Flavour is almost pure grapefruit. Oily palate. Finishes grainy. Not to my taste at all.

Bottled (from Co-op as "Gold Miner", BB 06/2010). Golden color, not much head. Woody, grassy nose. Crisp citrusy flavor, a bit grainy feeling.
