Gold blend is the beefier blend with extra ginger and lemon from lemon rind.
1st bottle was nicely bright. Big flavour; good ginger but the lemon is little bitter. It's giving a decent backbone to the taste but it's probably too much.
2nd bottle was a bit fiercer on the ginger and this helped with the overly bitter lemon. I also managed the sediment better when pouring.
So next Gold Blend probably has half the lemon. Need to have a think about counter-acting the bitterness but retaining the structure.
