Commercial Description:
This amber ale has a very smooth profile. It's not too bitter but there is some hop aroma and flavor. Although its considered to be on the lighter side of the craft brewed beers, the Gold has plenty of flavor.

Dark copper in color......slightly hazy. White, pillowy head. Fresh, clean aroma with subtle hop notes. Sweet hop flavor in the front......clean, smooth mouthfeel. Finishes with a slight bitterness, and a very subtle hop aftertaste.

Slightly hazy medium orange with a small, fleeting off-white head. Fresh pleasant fruity malt aroma. Slightly sweet but no real strong flavor players here. Thin and watery, but an inoffensive, easy drinking beer.

12 oz bottle. Pours a hazy golden amber with a thin white head that quickly diminishes.

The aroma is sweet caramel and corn malts.

The flavor is sweet skunky and vegetal malts with a touch of caramel. It has an almost bitter dry finish. The mouthfeel is thin and watery.

Overall, this is a slight step up from a macro. If they were shooting for a BMC clone, they did a good job other than appearance!

12oz bottle-An amber colored brew with a decent white head which had an aroma of malts, grains, and slight hops. Taste was the same with the beer being fairly thin and watery.

Appearance: Light (and I mean light) copper body with a fizzy white head. Smell: Light, pale malt aroma with a faint flowery character to it. Taste: Light grainy cereal flavor with an upfront single drop of caramel sweetness. Faintly grassy. Finishes dry, but with no real bitterness. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Mild carbonation. Watery mouthfeel. Drinkability: Each sip leaves you not wanting more, but wanting something else.
