Commercial Description:
Cask; Regular.
Also available bottled (not to be confused with Golden Pale Ale, which is actually the bottled version of Black Country Bitter).
An 18ct gold, golden ale with subtle yet fragrant hop aromas, a moreish gentle sweetness and an almost citrus like pleasant bitter finish. Brewed using the finest English Maris Otter malts and choicest Fuggles, Golden Glow is a thirst quenchingly refreshing beer.

Cask at ’Spoons, Milton Keynes. Golden with a white head. Buttery malt aroma. Delicious wheaty, grainy taste with plenty of citrus and an agreeable level of bitterness to follow. Nicely served too. A real cracker.

Absolutely gorgeous. A full, rich, malty beer with an unmistakeable honey note, whether this is by addition of the bees wares or brewing I don’t know. Super-smooth body of malt and fruit, some gentle bitterness, but mainly rich malt. Like drinking honey and beer mixed, which isn’t as bad as you might think. Excellent.

Draught at Park Inn (Brewery Tap), Woodsetton. Pale Golden Beer with thin bubbly head. Lovely well balanced smooth hoppy beer with crystal malts. Can't think of a better place to drink it either, overall a very tasty golden beer.

Cask conditioned, GBBF 2005: Golden coloured. Very bitter finish. Pleasant beer. Some caramel in the flavour adds some complexity.
