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.

Perfectly clear darker gold color with a soft white head that retains well and leaves good lacing. Aroma is fairly low on the hops, but there is still some floral hints; I also get a little hint of apple, honeycomb, and some nice pale malt to round it out. Taste gives me some honey bread and floral hops at the forefront, a little pale malt balanced by the hops in the finish. Carbonation is a touch higher than medium with a bit heavier than light body. Pretty good beer, IMO; this one might not knock your socks off, but it is a very well made beer perfect for sessioning. Another success.

Bottle. Slightly foggy, dark golden pour with a thin head. Faint aroma of sweet malt. Pleasant flavor of sweet malt and bitter hop. Slight flavor of alcohol in the finish. Carbonation provides a nice bite. Nothing too exciting, but a very drinkable beer.

12 oz bottle. Pours a light amber/gold color with a small white head that laces very nicely. Aroma is very nice. Very muted but pleasant. There’s a bit of maltiness in the front that’s finished off by just a subtle touch of hop presence. Nice smooth flavor made up of citrus and lemon flavor with a slight hop bitterness at the end. There is no real lingering aftertaste, it gives you just enough flavor to satisfy and then it’s gone. This beer is wonderful and should be the bar for all organic beers.

This bright golden-orange coloured brew has a light, bubbly, slightly-hopped mouthfeel. A touch of citrus fruit- orange and lemon flavors in particular. The initial taste is at first a soft pinch of bitter hops, but it slowly slides into a tiny, sugary like sweetness. Then before you know it, the flavor is gone and it is time for another sip to remind you of the past. The process is repeated until the beer is gone. Which makes you wonder after the first bottle, is there something more to this story? Is the end of this first beer an introduction to the second stage? And if so, what is the second stage going to tell you? You are left wondering if there is something more to be found. And if there is, should you try to ind it? Maybe this is just the beginning...of the organic revolution......

Pours cloudy dark yellow. Aroma - faint pine hops. Light and crsip with some hop bitterness. Non-descript. Somewhat disappointing for this top-notch Wisconsin brewer.

Smells almost like weak cider. Cloudy golden look. Solid but non-discript taste until a bitter finish. Interesting but not great.
