Jan 22, 2009 I become more impressed with Gouden Carolus beers every time I pop one open. They’re never superb, but they’re always very tasty, and they have a liveliness that is just great. This one is no exception. I don’t get a ton of hops out of it, though. Pours like a champagne - a *huge* head, even with a slow pour - though it dissipates quickly. Very light golden color. Apple cider (Martinelli’s) and pear in the aroma, along with some hops and a honey sweetness. The hops come through more powerfully in the flavor, which presents a bitterness to counter what is otherwise a very sweet beer. Well-balanced, effervescent... this one would be great to celebrate an occasion on a budget, as it’s really very much like champagne. Good stuff!

Oct 13, 2008 Bottle from Sam’s at a solid $6.99. Muddy bright golden pour with thick white head. Lovely to behold. Hops, citrus, and yeast on the nose. Great body and similar tastes as smells with an added spiciness and crisp bitter hop finish. Very good.

Nov 27, 2008 On tap at Rich O’s. Good example of a definitely unique style that I have begun to develop a serious liking for – I recommend it to anyone who digs the specific style or Belgians or IPA’s . Thanks Roger for the hook up!

Jul 24, 2009 Cloudy yellow pour with an enormous bubbly white head that hangs around forever. Aromas of pale malts, crisp piney hops, and lemony citrus. Mainly hops on the tongue, which was unexpected yet thoroughly enjoyed. Great carbonation. Very lively with just enough hoppy bitterness.

Nov 28, 2008 On tap at the Kulminator, and bottled at Granville Moore’s. A well-hopped, bitter and refreshing beer with faint hints of citrus. Nice one. Better on tap.
