The Gold will take a bit more cooling than the Red. Leave them in for a couple of hours or more and you'll mask the flavour! Of course one of the reasons lager is drunk so cold is to mask the flavour. Just try some lukewarm Carlingsberg and you'll see what I mean!
THat sounds like very good advice for me. Half an hour is just the right amount of time, to put one in when you take one out ready for when you've finished and are ready for another
