About GOLD
GOLD is STAR's multi-variant beer brand, sold in Madagascar as a blonde with a light bitterness and silky head, a wheat-style GOLD Blanche with citrus notes, and a GOLD 8%, a strong beer the brewer markets on its marked bitterness and intensity. Having three distinct styles under one name is unusual in a market where most brands are a single lager, and it gives the company a range above and around its mainstream THB.
