Brakspear Oxford Gold from W.H. Brakspear & Sons plc
Rating: B
This is a beer that is quite proud of the fact that it is is organic! I count ten times that it mentions the fact on the label...
Appearance: Honey in color, appropriate for a beer with a bee on the label. One finger attractive white head. Not quite clear. Attractive.
Smell: Fresh, light, almost lagery aroma at first when cold. Target and Goldings hops specified by the label. Underlying honey/candy malt notes and hints of "wet towel" if that makes sense, but not in a bad way.
Taste: Herbal hops dominate, on top of a sweet "honey" malt backbone. Not sure whether this is better off categorized as an English Pale Mild Ale (as it is on BA) or a bitter.
Mouthfeel: Lively carbonation, medium body. Slightly more syrupy than I might prefer. Bitter, hops aftertaste.
Drinkability: Refreshing and quaffable. At 4.6% abv, sessionable.
