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.

Clear straw with small head. Aroma is grassy and moderately sweet, some spice, some lemon. Taste is grassy, slightly sweet, mild spice. Very light carbonation. Quite a good beer -- I didn't even realize it was a light beer until I came to enter my rating!

This beer is very crisp and clean! Had a sample at brewery and took home 6... There’s a little sweetness that is very interesting and even floral? A very straight forward brew worthy of another taste...

Clean yellow pour beneath an overactive fountain of foam. It essentially poured froth, though it didn’t really gush over. Paper, pine, lemon curd, honey and minerals in an earth hued aroma. Softly bitter, and smooth, hiding a jagged roughness of grain quite with relative ease. Flavor is crisp and refreshing, with lots of musty, strawlike hallertau bitterness and minty hop leaves. Softest dusty phenols and esters of fruity stripes. Wholesome lemony sweetness and white breads. Light palate is punchy and bone dry, finishing on straw and distant sugars. Far from plain, and pleasant in its own way. Thanks Chris!

Bottle shared by TheCaptain, thanks Mark. Clear gold with a thin head. I took this to be more of a Helles style lager than anything else. It was very malt forward with a slight hint of hops and a bready sweetness. Not bad but nothing too exciting.

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

Clear yellow body, white thin head. Fresh, crisp, "Miller-esque" lager flavor. I really enjoy the balaced flavor of this... nice sweetness with a light hop grassiness.

12oz Bottle. A little overcarbonated and foamy for a pils. Four or five fingers of crisp, pillowy white head hangs above a furious inch of lightly hazed deep gold. Aroma is composed of blended straight malt and metallic hops. Rather classic and relatively clean. A few interesting yeast and alcohol notes create the sense of sugar complexity. Flavor is a mish-mash of well developed malt flavor, rich in toothy breads, and lemony sugars, followed by some dusty hop nuance and a kiss of alcohol sugars. Ever so slightly metallic. A nip sweet. Interesting beer. Decently flavored, but a bit of a mess. Worth a try and nice to drink. Finally, a crisp, gummy hop juice provides a nicely flavored balance in the backend.
