Commercial Description:
Crisp and refreshing, Max Gold is a classic Pilsner style lager that has a medium body and a beautiful gold color. Its slight malt sweetness gives way to a complex hop finish, created by a blend of Tradition and Saaz hops.

Light colour, no head to speak of. Crisp, clean, bitter particular in finish that was malted, maybe not enough. Some saaz hops present, so pilsner like substitute for the macros. Not bad. Glass had bleach in it so negative on smell

Draught. Golden-copper, with medium white head and nice lacing. Lightly malty aroma with some hops. Flavor is grainy and bitter. Very crisp. Nice full bitter flavor, dry finish, grass in aftertaste.

On tap at the brewpub. This one has 5% abv according to the bartender. Dark clear yellow. tasty alfalfa taste. slight hop scent. flavor gets harsh when it lingers - pleasant while drinking. too much residual bitterness.

Draft. Light gold and clear. Light malt aroma, with some corn and slight peppery hops. Huge amounts of noble hops in flavor - peppery and woody, along with some malt. Moderate bitter finish. After reading through some of the other reviews, I think that the brewer is tinkering with the recipe. This version I had was very hoppy, and not too bad. It was a bit unbalanced tho.

Cottony white head and clear, straw-colored body. Citrusy, pineapple nose with a slight grassy quality and an odd note of ammonia. No detectable diacetyl anywhere to be found. Clean, fairly tart and mostly dry flavor with a somewhat bitter finish. A fair pilsner, but could use a touch of buttery richness.

Tap, downtown Atlanta. Pale, pale gold hue is very clear. Bread malt and orange/lemon hops. It’s really that simple. Decent strength hop aroma. Lightly sweet, lightly bitter, lightly acidic flavor becomes a lightly acidic, lightly bitter finish. Grainy. Medium-light body, watery texture, moderate carbonation. The bottom line is: Starts off smelling like it’ll be hoppy, but doesn’t follow through.

On tap at their Buford, Ga. location. No real discernible aroma to this one, pours a pale straw color with a thin white head. Slight lemony flavor, with some honey notes, but other than that basic lager flavor. Refreshing though and was a good meal washer-downer. Overall, though quite bland.

A lovely larger, enjoyed on various pub crawls. Great when one can’t stand drinking beers like Guiness. Goes down easily.
