Commercial Description:
Our lightest ale, Battle Creek Special reserve is an English Golden Mild. The lightly toasted, semisweet, malt character finishes crisp and is balanced by a mild hop bitterness and delicate Cascade hop nose.

Pours a cloudy golden colour with a ridiculously large head. Way over carbonated, mouthfeel is creamy, thick and basically over the top. Aroma is floral, its hard to distinguish a lot of different flavors because of its intense carbonation. Fruity, very dry.

Large frothy slowly dissipating white head with some cloudy amber beer underneath. Aroma of grain, grassy hops, citrus and sweet malt. Heavily carbonated body of caramel, citrus, toasted grain, noble hops with a dry finish. A little bland but ok.

Picked up a single 12-oz bottle at Flanagan’s in Appleton, Wisconsin. Pours a hazy dirty orange amber brew containing particles with a thick and lumpy off white head. Aroma of roasted caramel malt, some grassy and citrus hops, a touch of dried herbs and light brown sugar. Taste is metallic, very acidic with a tart caramel flavor. This could be an infected bottle due to the high carbonation and dark particles. Willing to try and rate again.

Drank at a Battlecats game in 2003. For baseball park beer, pretty good stuff. Basic run of the mill, Bud equivalent, but with enough malt and hops to provide some decent "real" flavor.

Over carbonation produces a huge foamy head and negative influence for the taste and palate. Interesting and pleasant aroma that I couldn’t identify. Light, crisp taste with a hint of hops, but a little watery. More trouble to pour than it’s worth.
