Natty Greenes Guilford Golden Ale

Brewed by Natty Greenes Pub & Brewing Company
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
Greensboro, North Carolina USA

A nice golden ale with a good smooth finish that borders between sweet and dry from the English yeast. A great ale to consume in mass. Gold in color with hoppy and yeasty aroma, hint of grains.

From notes 8/11/04: Pours a typical lagerish (I know it’s an ale) golden color with a modestly fluffy white head. Lacing was in loose patches resulting in a web design. Minimal carbonation. Aromas were mild to say the least. Some grainy notes and a slight slight citrus note. Flavors begin with some sweet maltiness and a healthy chunk of grain. The aftertaste yields a subtle lemony flair that tingles the palate and begs for more. Creamy mouthfeel with the lack of bubbles. Very drinkable. A 2nd had to be ordered to make sure I noted all the characteristics. Goes down easily and smoothly.

Had this one at the Grasshoppers game where I saw the opposing team got the shit beat out of them due to a large fight in the 3rd inning. Pours out a light yellow color with a nice white head. aroma was some what bitter with a slight amount of malt. Flavor was rather bitter and it lingered in the after taste.

Clean golden pour with a creamy white head and lace. Light hint of malt not much else. Clean semi sweet malt and some corn. Medium bodied and a tad foamy. Nice refreshing clean beer.

Draught at the brewpub. Pours golden color (imagine that) with white head. The aroma is a slight grainy spiciness with a little bit of hay. The flavor is hay, leather, and flour. It’s very grainy, especially toward the finish. A little bit of sharp carbonation is in there, too.
