Like the name would imply, this is goldena dn clear. There's average activity. The beer is malty and smooht. Sharp almost cheesy bitter finish. Gristy.

Pours a hazed gold with a small foamy white head. Aroma is sweet and buttery with some malty and bready notes. Kind of like a buttered biscuit. Taste is a bit on the tart side but has malt, light hops, and some fruit. The mouthfeel seems a bit acidic. This is something I can’t recall experiencing with this style. Otherwise it’s somewhat smooth. Finish is more of the tartness with some lighter malt character. Nothing more than average.
