Charlie and Jakes Harbor City Gold

Brewed by Charlie & Jakes Brewery & BBQ
Style: Pale Lager
Melbourne, Florida USA

Draft... Lightly hazy, golden lager with a small, creamy, white head. Decent retention. Docile nose with only a whisper of the biscuity, grainy pale malts and an afterthought of those spicy Saaz hops. Lots of sweet, pale malt in the flavor with a touch of jalapeño pepper... minus the normally associated heat. Leans heavily onto the sweet side of balance. Light to medium-bodied with a 2%-milk mouthfeel and fizzy carbonation. Bitter-sweet (more sweet than bitter), astringent finish.

on tap-pours a white head with gold color. Aroma is hops. Taste is a nicely balance grain and hops taste with the grain being out front. Nice beer.

Sampler--There wasn’t any aroma to be found. Small head with carbonation and a gold color. Not very favorful.

Like all C&J's brews, aroma is not a strong point. Some maltiness can be made out, but not much there. Clear, dark gold in appearance. Very little visible carbonation. Excellent lace. Flavor is blah. No bite. Almost tastes like an N.A.

Draft at Charlie and Jakes Brewery in Melbourne, FL. This beer had a small sized white head that contained fine-small sized bubbles that quickly and completely dissipated. The body of this beer was softly carbonated and transparent with a pale yellow hue. The nose was lightly hoppy as was the flavor. The mouthfeel was smooth and this was a light bodied beer with good lacing on the sides of my glass.

TheDM and Hotstuff vacation brew 68. This draft brew was sampled at the brewery in Melbourne Florida. This brew poured a small head of fine to medium sized off-white colored long lasting bubbles that left behind a transparent yellow gold colored uncarbonated body and a fair lace. The aroma was a simple mild malt hop one and the mouthfeel was mellow smooth and tingly. The flavor was all hops with a mild bite at the end.
