Brains SA Gold is a golden ale brewed with Target hops and additional late-hopping with Cascade and Styrian Goldings. SA Gold was launched in 2006 and is a development of Brains' renowned 'special ale' best bitter, popular since its launch in the 1950s.
This is a review of the pasteurised bottled ale (worryingly bottled in clear glass) but a cask version is also available with a 4.3% alc./vol.
Sampled on 18/11/2011
Clear, golden amber with lasting off white head and good lacing.
Fruity, caramel nose with faint almond and grapefruit aromas.
Famously balanced, medium-bodied malty palate with refreshing bitterness and tangy zesty grapefruit flavours.
Dry grassy, aromatic hop finish with lingering citrus notes.
