While, even by modern standards, Ben Kraus from Bridge Road Brewers releases heaps of one-off and seasonal beers, for the most part his core range has remained the same for a few years, the odd tweaked recipe notwithstanding. Yet with the release of this Golden Ale, the core range is altering. Out goes his first ever beer, the Australian Ale (which will remain as a seasonal release) and in comes a new session beer. It's a gleaming bright golden affair with a light fluffy head from which candied lemon give ways to floral, grassy and peachy aromas from its Aussie hops. There's some sweet malt and a soft bitterness rounding out what is a seriously sessionable ale that's liable to get a pounding in the warmer months.
