Commercial Description:
Since 1516 Brewers have led the purity revolution. They mandated only four natural ingredients be used to brew beer. This Reinheistgebot law was the first ever food purity regulation and New Glarus Brewmaster Dan Carey has consistently respected our palates by employing yeast, water, barley and hops to explore a wide spectrum of flavor. Today Dan pushes the purity envelope by using Organic Hallertau Hops from Germany with Wisconsin organically malted barley to create a complex and assertively hoppy golden ale. This beer is even natrually carbonated, 100% bottle fermented means you can expect a flavor celebration to dance cleanly across your palate. Raise your glass and toast to Wisconsin’s common sense Revolution.

Sweet malty aroma, honey, light hops. Golden orange color with white head. Flavor is sweet malt, some hay, breat, honey, apples, and light pepperiness. Palate is even - neither heavy nor light. Bitter duration and finish. Pretty good.

Bottle... Mostly clear, golden ale with a small, fizzy, white head that dissipates in a flash. The nose offers lots of toffee and biscuit malts with lesser notes of perspiration and spicy hops. Medium to full-bodied with a skim-milk mouthfeel and ticklish carbonation. Plenty of toffee sweetness overpowers the initial, snappy hop bite. Finishes honey-sweet.

Bottle, pours a hazy yellow-orange body with a little sediment and a yellowish-white head. Aroma of sweet malts, sugar, and a hint of hops. Flavor is more of the same. Medium-bodied with a light, bitter hop and malt finish.

The last in a series of 4 beers in a mixed pack. Poured a very gold color with a huge head. Not overly hoppy, but well balanced. Not great but good.

bottle. Pours a hazy, gold, with a massive white head. Rich malt and hops. Light, with a somewhat sour flavor. Lingering finish.

Clean and crisp, but less ale than lager. Bought in a little store in Madison while the wife took the kid back to the hotel. Not too revolutionary of a beer.

This is very drinkable, but nothing extraordinary. Pours a clear gold, small white head. Clean, malty flavor. Subtle and refreshing.

You know what I love about New Glarus? They don’t seem to be too concerned about beer styles. This one’s not really sure if it’s a creamy golden ale or a pale, but whatever it is, I like it. A lot, actually. Golden orange pour with a thin layer of foamy head. Sweet nose with a bit of creaminess and some light fruit. Malt a little more present than hops. Tastes of honey, bread, hops. Bottle conditioning makes for a great mouthfeel. This is not a beer that grabs you hard, but I honestly can’t think of a better go-to session beer than this one. Perfectly balanced. Thanks to James for the bottle. Now if we could only get it in NC...
