🌍 Australia · Australian Lager · One of 40 Australian Lagers in hopIQ

Golden Point is Burleigh's flagship everyday lager, sold until recently under the name Slow Brewed Lager. It is brewed from malted barley and German hops, fermented slowly and left unpasteurised, and it aims squarely at the uncomplicated, refreshing lager style that Australian drinkers reach for. The beer is bright gold. The nose offers light bread and fresh grain, and the palate is crisp and clean, with a gentle malt sweetness, a faint spicy hop note and a short, dry finish.

Taste
