Church Brew Celestial Gold

Brewed by Church Brew Works
Style: Premium Lager
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania USA

now this is in my mind is quite an interesting feat in brewing since it is fairly rich in color and taste considering its light abv. i think many beer drinkers have appreciation for a beer that is satisfying and interesting enough to drink and i enjoyed this particular beer for that reason. perhaps some divine intervention from "the powers" still lingering at this beautiful brewery it is a true beer enthusiasts "find". nice hop and malt presence with fruit and bitterness and touch of sweetness that does not overly linger, yes, pleasant is usually good!

Pours a lightly hazy medium golden color with a large, foamy, off-white head. The foamy displays nice retention, and leaves patchy lacework on the glass. Aromas are a bit off, corn malt and wheat grains showing a weird, phenolic sort of yeast overtone that could hint at mild infection. There are some floral hops there as well, but the strange yeast note clouds everything up. Flavors show similarly, with honey glazed cereal grains and mild floral hops being overshadowed by hint of aluminum and a strange, yeasty element. The mouthfeel is fine for what it is, light to medium bodied and moderately carbonated. Drinkable, but not something that I would ever seek out.

Draft… Clear light yellow lager with no head. Sweet, grainy nose with additional notes of toffee and acetaldehyde. Light to medium-bodied with tingly carbonation. Sweet and thin with low bitterness – notation of acetaldehyde. Crisp, bland finish.

Kind of overly fizzy for a pils but not a bad beer Great malty aroma and lovely golden color. Good beer to enjoy any time

Pours golden, with a really thick white head. Aroma, fruity (citrus), yeasty (close to vegetable). Taste, hoppy, sugary malts with a fair amount of citrus/banana. Not a bad pislner, the beer is just loaded with citrus, malts and yeast.

12oz bottle coutesy of SS summer 08. Sweet floral aroma. Gold body with white head. Medium body brew with some zesty lemon and sweet malt. Decent brew after work. Thanks, Alan

Courtesy of sebletitje. Pours deep gold with copper core and thin white head. The aroma is floral and spicy hops to go along with malt sweetness. The taste is refreshing with grainy Munich like malts. Notes of floral and spice hops mixing with a citrus lemon undercurrent grow as the finish approaches. It ends try and tart.
