Two observations followed by a question...
Ok
Observation 1: Never let your missus choose your beer
Observation 2: Never let your missus taste your beer
Question: How the F&%£ do Badger make their Golden Glory taste of peaches?
I don't like it, beer shouldn't taste of peaches, it's too girly (what would Al Murray think?) but it has intrigued me; no mention of hops or other gear on the label! Now the missus wants me to brew one ... 'c'mon, surely you're good enough after all that practice'.
*cough*

Hi Tony,
I pretty sure its Elderflower that gives it the fruity taste. Along with the Badger fruity yeast. I would try adding some the secondary fermentation.
I think its English hops, Fuggles and Challenger and I would guess to around 25 IBU with not too much late additions as the Elderflower takes over flavour wise.

Ahh....
just seen this on their website:
'A refreshing premium ale subtly flavoured with extract of peach. An award-winning 4.5% ABV premium ale, well balanced with distinctive bitterness and a delicate floral peach and melon aroma.'
Now I know.... but, it remains one of the (very) few beers I have ever tipped down the drain. I managed about half a pint. I can still taste it nearly 24 hours later (subtle indeed!). The missus liked it though and I promised to make her an anniversary brew (anything to get in another brewday).. so I may well be researching a clone :o)
I do like the idea of the elderflowers though Greg ... may use that as a substitution!

ah, its golden Champion which has Elderflower, they taste quite similar to me though. See if she likes that one as its definately flavoured with Elderflower and they will be out very soon!
