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

Dec 1, 2009 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.
