Golden City Clear Creek Gold Pale Ale

Brewed by Golden City Brewery
Style: Kölsch
Golden, Colorado USA

22oz bottle. Nose is off-putting metallic and rotting vegetables and detergent with a little spice and pepper. Flavor is - well - not very good. Initially (quite cold) had some pilsener malt character - almost immdiately after the initial sip, it was Gym socks and some soured/dying hop bitterness and just an overall unpleasant funkiness to it......................I’m hopeful it was a bad/old bottle, since I generally love GC’s brews. Will try again next time I’m @ the brewery, but this one was a drainpour after the first sip.

22 oz. bottle. Pours a thin white head, of short duration, over a clear, pale yellow (SRM 3) body.....nose of mild malts, bit of cereal, minimal hint of noble spice....tastes strongly of cereal (Grapenuts) early, leading to mild hop bitterness which gently lingered....mouth feel is light, carbonation medium. This has all the characteristics of the style, but they are done with a very light hand.

Draft at the brewery. Mostly clear brass yellow colored body, a slight haze noticed. Fresh cracked pils malt nose, some snappy cracker character, some light honey sweetness noticed, a light touch of what resembles noble hops. Well balanced and smooth texture. Subtle honey sweetness up front with some drying over the middle and back. No flaws noticed, subtle and quiet overall, easy to drink.

22oz bottle(Named Golden City Pale Ale)- Had a while ago. A golden body with a decent head and an aroma of hops. I remember it being decent but a little on the weak side.

Poured from a growler. .. Light carmelly/cereal aroma with hints of herby, grassy hops. Avg white head, light yellow, slightly hazy pour. . . Crisp and refreshing flavor with hints of malts and hops. . . light body, avg carb. .. Decent summer beer, overall pretty clean.

Bought this at a convenience store outside of the Coors Brewery. Flavor was nice sweet and smooth with some nice mild citrus hops. I remember a ton of yeast in the bottle. I also remember liking this alot more than everyone else seemed to.

On tap at the Golden City Brew Pub. Poured a light and clear yellow color with a smaller sized white head. Aromas and tastes of grass, grain and light citrus.

tap. golden clear pour. thin head. nice lacing. floral hops, grassy, sour malts in the unimpressive aroma. earthy hops, sour malts, light body and sour tart finish. Why did I drink this beer?
