durhambeer (1186), Durham, USA Jul 9, 2008 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... badbeer (432), Iowa, USA Jul 7, 2008 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.
rudolf (1734), Buffalo, New York, USA Oct 21, 2009 Bottle. Pours lightly hazy gold with a nice off-white head. Nose is floral & spicy hops, some candied orange peel, very light toffee malt. Flavor is amazing floral & earthy hops - a bit of mint, a bit of honey, a bit of lemon. Perfectly rounded out by a nice crisp maltiness. Perhaps a bit sweet, but I bought this bottle a few months ago. I think the low score here comes from this being so unlike other APAs due to the Hallertau. Its more Kellerbier than APA & I love it. nuplastikk (1159), Madison, Wisconsin, USA Mar 16, 2009 12oz bottle. Thick orange-brown color with a nice soapy head. Sugary orange chocolate aroma. Sweet medium dark malts collide with the solid bitterness which has a nice citrus tanginess in the finsh. Very clean and fresh, capturing some quality malt notes that arent so far off from a Brown Ale. Smooth and creamy, full of flavor with exceptional balance. Well done. guyinchicago (516), marengo, Illinois, USA Mar 19, 2009 pours golden with big off white head, aromas are of hops and malts taste is of german hops and malted grains this beer is brewed in accordence to the 1516 law of german purity [reinheistgebot] with only hops,water, yeast and barley great beer don’t agree with the low score Syd (888), Waconia, Minnesota, USA Feb 7, 2009 Bottle pours a hazy yellow with a small head and some residual lace. The aroma is floral hops and some grass. The flavor is sweet, orange marmalade, grassy, and fresh bread. The palate is medium rich and lively. Overall, I think she’s under rated. Optigon (561), Bloomington, Indiana, USA Dec 23, 2007 Pours yellow with a moderate, white, fluffy head. Aroma is light with some sweeter, fruity qualities. Moderate mouth feel. Flavor is sweeter, with some light fruity qualities. Hop bitterness hits the end and the finish is quite clean. yesyouam (587), Fairport, New York, USA Jul 6, 2009 New Glarus Organic Revolution is a clear, solid gold with a thin white head that leaves great lacing. It smells lemony and clean, maybe a bit grassy. It’s just about medium bodied (a bit light) and very smooth with a pretty clean finish. It has a grassy, mellow flavor with nice bitterness and nice balance. It would make an excellent session ale.
