St Peter's is one of the more established names in British AF brewing, and the Gold is their take on the golden ale style — lighter than the Original, aimed at drinkers who want something sessionable and approachable. The bottle is the same distinctive oval shape the brewery uses across the range, which gets attention on a shelf. The flavour profile is gentle. Sweet biscuit malt comes first, followed by a clean hop bitterness with some citrus in the background. The addition of maize lightens the body without stripping all the character out. Carbonation is gentle and the texture is slightly smooth rather than crisp. It sits somewhere between a session golden ale and a lightly-hopped pale, and it plays things safe rather than aiming for big flavour. It's a reasonable everyday AF option and stacks up well at the price point. You'll find it in Morrisons and a range of independent retailers, often available as part of a mixed Without selection case if you want to try the whole range together.
