Commercial Description:
This beer is golden in color with a light bubbly effervescence. The light body makes this lager beer appropriate for a business lunch or your evening sipping beer. The light malt flavor also accentuates the hop flavor. From the start, you will notice a fine hop aroma. As you sip the Celestial Gold, the subdued maltiness blends with a slight hop flavor. When this beer finishes, you will notice a pleasant hop bitterness. The bitterness will be mild and quite appropriate.

A nice premium lager by one of my home town favorites. Aroma was a little weak but could pick up a little hoppiness. Pour was a light gold with a nice 1 finger white head. Taste was wet and crisp. Nice big light malt flavor up front...more so than most of this style. Nice bitterness in the aftertaste thanks to the perfect balance of hops. Can’t believe I waited this long to try this.

Pours a transparent deep golden with a thin, wispy-lacing white head. Authentic aroma of lightly sweet, pale malt and grain with a touch of noble hops. Body starts fairly thin and lightly sweet with a touch of earthy floral German bittering hops and some grainy malt character. Pretty standard pale lager, but drinkable at least.

Sort of your standard lager with a little bit of a bad flavor. Better than your average macrobrew, but not one I’d care to drink again.

Clear golden pour, small white head. Aroma is biscuit malts. Flavor is corn, biscuit malts and some noble hops. Crisp and refreshing but not much going on.

Draft, Church Brew Works. Pours a clear yellow color; off-white head with good retention and lacing. Light, reserved aroma, showing sugar and citrus crispness. Light, slightly watery mouthfeel: some grains with a minimal toastiness; sugar, citrus crispness with minimal acidity; light and drinkable. Quick, sugar and light bitterness in the finish.

Clear with small white head. Little wiff of lemon. Not much better than a major american lager. Very light grassy no bitterness.

Bottle. Golden color with a one finger head that has died back a little, but still covers the body. Aromas are a little skunky... (Heineken like) a little grass, a little honey... not much there. Flavor starts with a honey sweetness that gives way to a white pepper hops finish. A bready malt presence nicely bridges this transition. Pleasant if unspectacular.
