Commercial Description:
This beer is golden in color with a light bubbly effervescence. The light body makes this lager beer appropriate for a business lunch or your evening sipping beer. The light malt flavor also accentuates the hop flavor. From the start, you will notice a fine hop aroma. As you sip the Celestial Gold, the subdued maltiness blends with a slight hop flavor. When this beer finishes, you will notice a pleasant hop bitterness. The bitterness will be mild and quite appropriate.

5/02/2008: The Church Brew Works Celestial Gold German Style Pilsner pours golden straw color with a foamy off-white (slightly yellowish) head. It has a mild level of visible carbonation an a sweet, grainy aroma that reminds me of sweet corn. The flavor is also quite grainy with a bit of watery grassiness. It seem qyite "beer-y" and is extremely light on the palate. It is soft on the palate and has no finish. I nearly forgot that I was drinking a beer while I was drinking this one!

12 fl. oz. bottle from Tmoney99. Thanks Tom! Rating #66 for this beer...

Courtesy of sebletitje. Pours deep gold with copper core and thin white head. The aroma is floral and spicy hops to go along with malt sweetness. The taste is refreshing with grainy Munich like malts. Notes of floral and spice hops mixing with a citrus lemon undercurrent grow as the finish approaches. It ends try and tart.

Bottle courtesy sebletitje (aka Sea Bass). Pours a clear golden with a small white head. Aroma of floral hops and pilsner malt. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium mouthfeel with a mild to moderate amount of bitterness. Good.

(Bottle brought back from the East Coast by a friend). Pours thinnish head that goes away pretty fast. Light yellow colored body. Fine group of bubbles coming up from the middle of the glass, otherwise doesn’t appear to have a great amount of carbonation to it. Has a nice aroma similar to a germanic pilsner. Very hoppy flavor of traditional german hops. Could be catagorized as a Marzen in my book. Hops linger on the palate.
