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.

12oz bottle shared courtesy of TomDecapolis. Poured a medium to deeper golden color with a small sized white head. Aromas of citrus and caramel. Tastes of citrus, caramel, and pine, and lighlty spicey in the finish. Thinner body.

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.

Pours a cloudy orange with a thin, spotty white head. Slightly grainy and semi-sweet pale malty nose has some mild grassy hop notes. Body follows suit with the aroma, some lightly sweet toasted grainy malt flavor and a muted bittering hop presence toward a bittersweet finish. Quite drinkable and not really offensive, just doesn’t seem to have any outstanding characteristics.

Pours amber with a thin off white head. Smells of citrus, some wheat. Tastes metallic with some underlying bitterness, but otherwise, not a whole lot going on here.

Cloudy deep glden-yellow beer. Aroma is light and grainy. There is a very nice fresh soft maltiness. the hops are lightly fruity with a soft fresh sweet malt backbone. Low to moderate bitterness. Softly herbal with a bit of light tartness on the back. It’s kind of non-descript. Not bad, but not all that good either.

Golden of body with a short lived eggshell head that laces heavily, this has a pale malt sweetness to the aroma with a touch of candy corn and a faint herbl/floral/earthy hoppiness. Light on the flavor side, it has sweet malts, warm honeyed bread, and a very mild bitterness. Okay to drink, but difficult to recognize as an APA.

Straw color with a smallish white head. Noble hops aromas, slightly grassy with a faint hint of dry pale malt. Quite dry in flavor, mild pale malt with the grass and lightly herbal hops undertone. For some reason I expected more depth and heft to this one. A light pale ale with lager tendencies. I will revisit shortly with a full bottle verses the four tries at a tasting last night. I will likely have some more descriptor, but I’m not sure the rating will change much.
