Hazy dark gold. Big foamy cream head. Smells of wet laundry and cheese. Big sweet and smooth flavor, honey, melon, pineapple. Good tasting beer. Sampled at the Dogfish Head brew pub in Falls Church, VA.

Bottle. Fine effort. Pours straw colored with lots of head and good lacing. Aroma is hoppy, taste as well. Nice bubbly, hoppy pilsner.

12oz bottle. Poured translucent yellow/golden with a huge white head. Aroma of crisp, citric hops, well balanced with malt. Flavor is malty for an instant, then big, sticky hops take over. Long, hop resin finish. Over the top pils, very enjoyable.

Good tasting lager, there is a bitter quality that doesn’t quite match the rest of the flavor. Still enjoyable.

"Golden Shower" originally received a 3.45 from me on 4/28/06. Ponied up quite the amount of coin for a bottle at the Brickskeller. Syrupy thick golden straw. Heavy flavor. Thick wet aromas. Alcohol was feisty. Glad I shared a 750ml bottle; no way I could finish one and properly enjoy it all.

This was an all around really strange brew. Gold color with no head or lacing. Thick, oily mouthfeel. Flavor and aroma were quite strong. Aroma was a cross between A1 sauce and spearmint. Flavor was very, very smoky and spicy with light hops. Honestly it was a little beefy, too. It tasted like meat. It wasn’t a skunked flavor at all, but I’m surprised there are no other experiences like this. Not light, not an easy drinker, not sweet, not anything anybody else has mentioned, and really not good.

Clear fully golden colour with a white head. Hoppy, piney aroma with malty, sugary/ alcohol notes. Malty, alcohol sweet flavor with hoppy floral notes.
