Kochs Golden Anniversary Beer

Brewed by High Falls Brewing Company
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
Rochester, New York USA

It’s better than Coors Light! At least this beer has that going for it. And if given the choice, I’d take this over Coors Light, or Bud Light or just about any of the other products from the big three brewers. But with that being said, this is not a very good beer at all. It’s one that I would picture a frat of college guys drinking several cases of after a football game on a Saturday afternoon (especially since it’s only $12 a case!). The beer pours a light yellow color with a big, fluffy and bubbly white head. There was only a very minimal amount of lacing left around the glass, but the head actually stuck around for a little while. The nose is of straw, hay, slight hops and stale bubble gum. The body is extremely light, but somehow smooth and slightly drinkable. The flavors are pretty nonexistent though , with a doughy feel and only slight hints of grassy hops, hay and lightly carbonated water. The finish is a little sour, with more doughy tones, along with some light fruit and light hops. The best attribute about this beer is the value. It’s not a bad tasting brew, and for only $12 a case; if you’re looking to party and get slightly tipsy, this may be the candidate for you. Okay, it doesn’t taste that great.

Picked this up at the local store and was surprised to see a Great American Beer Festival medal so I was kinda excited to try it. Upon trying it, my enthusiasm has faded. Pours a very clear, pale yellow color with a filmy white head and a LOT of carbonation. Aroma is light grainy, lots of corn, very sweet apple note overall. Flavor has an early corny note that lingers, mild grainy, sweet apple and overall just sweet at the end. Low body, thin texture, lots of carbonation in your mouth. Not a good brew, overly sweet and has a slight harsh corn taste to it that makes you squint after each sip with frustration. Blah.

Pours gold with a white head. Smells of creamed corn and apples. Tastes sweet and skunky with some stray peppery splashes.

reminder of my old high school days. sneaking into Reagans. 10 cent drafts. Corny horribleness. led to rough mornings

Sampled from a 12 oz can this beer poured a bright yellow-gold color with a large yellow-white head. The aroma was sour, tangy, corny and industrial. The flavor was tangy, corny and industrial with a long corny finish. Bland.

POured a very pale clear yellow color with a white head. Aroma was really bland, but with hints of corn and adjuncts. Flavor was a bit grassy, corn and water.
