Richbrau Griffin Golden Ale

Picked this up in a 3-Pack at Kroger. Pours a cloudy blonde more than a gold. Lots of foam that can be controlled. Tastes like a blonde as well. Citrusy and a slight edge of hops.

Bomber - A clear golden color with a thin white head. A slightly sweet aroma. Refreshingly grainy flavor.

Bomber...big gold color with no head, very good honey flavor with a refreshing sweetness, and slight bitterness. I was surprised by how much I liked this golden ale, usually not one of my favorite varieties.

Diacetyl , tangy aroma. Great label. Tastes like it smells, with some caramel. Sweetish, homebrewy. Adequate carbonation, but maybe a bit on the flat side. Finishes with a quick twang. Medium body.

on tap-pours a white head and yellow color. Aroma is faint grain. Taste is sweet grain secondary light hops, light fruit. OK carbonation.

Goldens are always a bit boring and this one is no exception. Light sweetness with the malt and I got very little if any hop character. Slightly doughy with a touch of bitterness. Not bad, but still very boring.

pours a cloudy golden hue with a frothy white head. Aromas are floral, a light citrus, a little doughy and some buttah’. Mouthfeel is medium bodied. Flavors are of a moderate bitterness, a little citrus, some wheat, and some apple.
