Commercial Description:
Beer of the Gods is an unusual blend of styles from Old Germany. We’ve taken the pale Pilsner malt used for Cologne’s famed Kölsch style and loads of spicy noble hops used in the best Altbier from nearby Dusseldorf. And we’ve topped it off with a liberal dose of extra aroma hops during a lengthy lagering stage. The result? An American beer that blends the best of two old world classics: a beer as drinkable as the very best Kölsch that satisfies like a supreme Altbier. Think of it as a German-style Farmhouse Ale. Beer of the Gods is, of course, unpasteurized and unfiltered. Alcohol content is 4.9%.

Bottled. A hazy light golden beer with a thin lazing white head. The aroma is sweet malty with flowery hoppy notes - German hops? The flavor is sweet malty with citrusy and flowery hop notes.

Bottled. Hazy pale yellowish colour, small white head. Aroma is a lot of lemon along with slightly papery and wheaty hints. Flavour is very much nothing, only some mild lemon, slight spices and sour hints. Quite soapy.

(12oz bottle) Large white head atop a cloudy golden body. Aroma is medium sweet, herbal, some grapefruit, lemon, pear. Taste is medium sweet, grapefruit, some bread, lime. Light-medium body, some chewiness. Comes closest to an APA in flavor, no matter its style origins.

Bottle @ Bruxellensis. Citrus, flowery hops and traubenzucker in the aroma. Oily hoppy flavor with citrus. Lacks balance.

A Mes rate: Bottle at GBBF. Watery yellow appearance but with a decent head. One dimensional lemony hop aroma with very little else going on. Flavour is awfully soapy and eveything else it has to offer is completely masked by it. Certainly not the beer of the gods in my opinion.
