Northwoods Half Moon Gold Ale

Brewed by Northwoods Brew Pub
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
Eau Claire, Wisconsin USA

Clear golden, lots of carbonation. Lots of corn and grain on the nose as well. Some german hops im assuming s what i smell. semi sweet malt character that rides through this beer.

Appearance: Pours a remarkably clear, light golden body with a thin, wispy white head. Smell: A handful of corn kernels, a pinch of sulphur, and light cereal notes make up this aroma. Taste: It’s corny, but less corny than the aroma would have you believe. Lightly sweet cereal flavor. Not much hopwise to speak of. There’s a light sourness to the finish. Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Mild carbonation. Drinkability: I feel like I deserve a prize of some sort each time I finish a Northwoods beer.

Bottle. Pours light gold with a average white head and pretty big carbonation. Aroma is light corn and grains, wheat, malts. Flavor is sour corn and malts, light hops. NEXT........

Picked up single bottle from brewpub. Pours a very light, watery blonde gold brew, as light as a diet ginger ale. No head except a touch of film topping and a thin bubbly ring. Aroma is some honey, and a touch of flowery hops. Taste is highly carbonated, light tobacco, and a sweet flowery hop finish. The palate is very watery and light. Too clean of a finish with no after taste.

Bottle. Pours a very light yellow with no head to speak of. Little carbonation. I smell a little sweet malt in the nose. Flavor is sweet with a honey fruitiness and lightly toasted malt. Easy to drink, not a big flavor monster.

Pours amber with white head. Thin aroma of grain and fruit. Flavor is very watery with a minor hop presence. Not much to like here at all.

amber color soapy white head well laced. Light aroma hints of grain touches of apricot. OK coat some fiz. almost like a mild apa very mellow light floral hop. Very plain but drinkable.
