Butte Creek Gold Ale

Formerly brewed at Butte Creek Brewing Company
Style: American Pale Ale
Ukiah, California USA

Serve in Lager glass, Shaker

Gold in color, white head is average, lace is adequate. Nose is malt, the middle sweet, the finish is clean and hop spicy, and also a bit dry. A clean and crisp beer that is quite a treat as I’m not normally crazy about Blonde or pale beers although there are exceptions. Butte Creek is a fantastic brewery, and if you get a chance, try most any of their beers, you will be happy you did.

lace really sticks to the glass on my bottle...nice golden color....i pickup on a slight roasty aroma, and a buttery taste...the only thing that hurts this is that it is a little lighter bodied than i’d prefer

Not an APA, just a golden ale , since its focus is on the malts. Which are very nice with apple and honeyish flavours. Good palate. A nice balanced west-coast beer.

Appearance is a cloudy yellow with little head but good lacing. Aroma is citrusy mainly oranges. Flavor is slightly hoppy with some grapefruit and oranges present. Light bodied. Decent for a summer beer but it doesn't hold a candle to many APA's Ive had.

Dark gold, thin foamy head. fruity, grainy aroma, with slightly lemony, grapey flavor. Notes of pepper and maybe some rye, perhaps. Finshes breasy, toasty. Maybe. Kind of difficult to get much out of this one.

I got some apple in the malts, but that was quickly destroyed by the one note bitterness of the hops. This was good with pizza. Alone, it would get on my nerves.

Hazy gold. Light white head. Aroma of hay and apple cider. Light body. Tastes of apple cider (I shit you not) grass and some butterscotch. Lightly bitter hops with a noticeable organic quality to the brew.

Nice rich aroma, but that's the highlight for this beer. Lame label, supercarbonated. Too fizzy. Better as it warms, getting some caramel.
