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.

From cask at Charlies. Pours clear and golden orange with a small white head. Aroma is light fruity hoppy with a mild malt note. Bitter and fruity flavoured. Rather simple. Fruity and bitter dry finish. Vague butterish touch.

Cask @ Charlies Bar, Cph.
Pours clear golden with a fine, staying, small, frothy, white head. Aromja has apples, light grass, pilsner malts, a bit citrusy. Low, prickly carbonation, fine mouthfeel. Flavour has green apples, citric bitterness, light malty balance. Just gets a bit too citric in the end for its own good.

Cask conditioned at Charlie’s Pub, Copenhagen
Hazy golden color; small persistent head. It has a very refreshing aroma, a bit citrusy, with some malt and light manure, some hop. Good malty flavor, with a quite round mouthfeel, light and very pleasant residual sweetness; all this is very nice; if possible, the bitterness becomes a bit too harsh at the end. Very good Golden Ale.

A Mes rate. Cask at the Ranelagh. Semi hazy dark gold with a slight rim of white foam. Pleasant wheat and grassy hop fronted aroma. Similar flavour with a good citric hit. Nice malty backbone to the finish. Not bad.
