Tasting Notes: Ramsbury: Gold

Ramsbury: Gold (England: Golden Ale: 4.5% ABV)

Visual: Slightly bronzed gold with a speckled layer of off white head.

Nose: Milk chocolate and barley, light chocolate orange cream.

Body:  Orange, treacle and syrup. Lime jelly. Slightly thin on the front, thickens at the back. Grapes, custard, marmalade and a trace of ginger. Slightly chalky as it nears the end

Finish Light charring, dust and marmalade. Milk chocolate

Conclusion:  Not bad, has quite a syrupy back to offset the too weak front, but the malt chocolate end is the most distinguished and distinguishable element, with the marmalade touch just adding a nice bit of spice to the mix.

I can’t complain about it, but it’s not special – another that needs a touch more force to make the flavours stick and give it a bit of life.  Still enjoyable though for what it is.
