on tap-pours a white head and yellow color. Aroma is sweet light malt/grain. Taste is sweet light malt/grain, floral/grassy hops bite, pepper. Slightly dry. 3.0

Golden pour with large head which quickly dissipated. Some notes of spices and citrus in the flavor and aroma. Felt like a lighter version of Triangle Golden honestly.

Pours a golden color with a white head. Aroma is malty, vanilla, some and some spicy hops. Flavor is some honey, vanilla, and lots of bitter spicy hops.

Serving: Draft at the brewpub. It pours a clear, deep gold color with a foamy, white head. The nose is a mix of flora hops, grain, and butter notes. The taste is both buttery and hoppy and not in a good way. Despite the description that calls it crisp, I found the palate to be slick and buttery. Light to medium body with a short finish. Rather mediocre overall.

Tap at BB. Pours a light clear gold with thin head. Aroma is crackery malt, grassy and floral hops, light esters. Flavor is crackery doughy light fruity, esters, phenolics, plastic, light cracker and toffee carapils sweetness and solvent in the end.

On tap at the brewpub. Very bright pour, lively golden and a fine rich carbonation. Sharp grassy aromas and peppery hops. They weren’t kidding about this being closer to a pils than a Belgian blond. Soft mouthfeel, quite drinkable. Spicy and pert with enough soft citrus and malt to balance. Pretty decent.

I think this was the Golden but it was called Gantlet not Gateway. This is a really nice very hoppy German Pilsner type. Plenty of aromas, and tastes, with still a clean finish, Must be Close to Jever in IBU’s

Draft sample at the brewpub. Pours a clear amber color with a large head. Good head retention and lacing. Aroma of floral hops and caramel. Taste is fruity and leafy hops with a light maltiness. Fairly bitter throughout. Medium bodied.

(draft, ID’d as Gaston Golden) Clear golden body with small white head. Aroma is moderately sweet, peach, some earthy. Taste is moderately sweet, earthy, peach. Light-medium body, light sticky, some acidity. Much hoppier than I expected for a Golden.

Draught, from a 4 oz. flight sample. Golden color, small white head, some lacing. Pale malty aroma, biscuit, grain. Flavor is very light, but quite hoppy, grassy aftertaste.
