Dogfish Head Golden Era (Shower)

batch 3/21/06: Date consumed: 5/10/08 Slightly hazed orange copper color with a medium fluffy off white head. Pungent yeast and malt aromas with a touch of sweet alcohol. Full bodied and low carbonation. Sweet alcohol and soft carmel malt flavors with the presence of some hops. Still a little on the sweet side, but thats malt liquor for you. The aging has balanced this beer nicely. Good full finish that warms the throat.

Bottled 3/21/06. Poured a clear amber with a frothy white head. Nice sweet malt and fruit aroma. The flavor finds lots of caramel malts with some fruits. Sweet throughout. Medium to full body. Very enjoyable. (Rating from June ’07)

Too sweet for my taste. This is the first dfh that i did not like. nothing was memorable about this beer except for the sticky sweet cloying flavor. i almost poored it.

12oz bottle. Poured a clear light orange-golden color. Head was white and reduce over a minute or so to a thin film. A bit of lace was left behind. Attractive aroma of malty caramel, fresh cereal grain, citrus, and noble hops. There was also an occasional whiff of pineapple. Slightly sweet up front with flavors of cooked vegetables, noble hops, flower blossom, and a hint of honey. Medium bodied with a dry bitter finish. At 9%, there wasn’t a great deal of alcohol flavor. Pretty good.

Dogfish Head Golden Era is a beautiful amber/yellow color with a very airy, but disapearing head. The aroma is full of sweet malts while the flavor is a perfect blend of sweet malts and bitter hops. This is a fantastic lager!
