3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
bottle. pours a dirty blonde with little head. pleasant malt based hop aroma... english bitterness with big malt presence throughout. average bitter finish... not bad for a local session beer.
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
The aroma is kind of dirty with a grapefruit like hop and cheap malt. The aroma is not all together that good but oddly not skunked. The appearance is golden with a nice head. The flavor is like cheap lager with a malt liquor like taste or maybe dish water and yeast. The palate is average for this style but the finish is astringent. Overall I have to say it is not good at all.
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 7/20
Pours a amber color with a small white head. Smells of caramel and corn. A tea like taste with almost no flavor. Not very good.
2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
Bottle from Greens in Atlanta. Gold pour. Malty and grainy nose. Flavor is malty and corn and some hops. Blah.
3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Finally snagged a bottle of this. Pours clear orange/yellow color. Caramel malt aroma with some floral hop esthers. Caramel malt flavor as well with a bitter metallic hop finish. Decent pale ale with a good balance.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle courtesy of daknole. Pours gold with a white head. Smells earthy with some peppery hints. Tastes astringently bitter and rubbery and is very lacking
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
12 oz, bottled 08/20/08. Clear, orange-amber with two-fingers of sticky meringue that leaves crunchy lace all over the glass. Spicy orange, caramel and tea leaf aromas. Flavor is orange, caramel, and a light-fruit blend that is balanced nicely by a wood-and-resin, lightly peppery hop finish. Light-medium body is mostly smooth and well balanced in both mouthfeel and dryness. Pleasantly surprised by this very good session ale in the English style; seems more an ESB than a Golden.
