Penn Gold Lager

Brewed by Pennsylvania Brewing Company
Style: Dortmunder/Helles
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania USA

Bottle... Clear, light golden lager with a small, frothy, white head. Beefy malts and breadsy yeast with a hearty, spicy hop aroma. Lightly sweet up front; balanced nicely by spicy hops and grassy aldehydes. Medium-bodied with prickly carbonation. Crisp, fairly clean finish.

Pours gold with a one-finger white head. Sweet malty aroma with faint earthy hops. More of the same in the flavor, with some soapiness. A bit of a metallic aftertaste.

Sweetish, mellow, but nothing compared to Penn’s other lagers. Not really all that much to say, perhaps a bit underbittered.

Bottle. Pours hazy gold, white head. Aroma is malt and citrus. Flavor is malty and slightly citrusy. This beer is very wheaty.

Light yellow-gold appearance with a small, white head; little in the way of lacing. Juicyfruit gum aroma with some vegatal notes near the finish. Light bodied, medium carbonated mouthfeel. Mild, smooth, fruity, modestly sweet taste. Slightly bitter aftertaste.

The aroma is metallic with cereal grains and grassy hops. The appearance is pale gold with a medium white head. The flavor is sweet with a lightly bitter aftertaste and is just like the aroma in every other way. The palate is thin but OK. This is fairly well done except the metallic elements.

On-Tap @ PNC Park, Pgh, PA. Poured golden yellow, 1-inch thick fluffy white head that was present all the way to the last drop. Aroma was bready and sweet, not overpowering. Flavor was mildly hoppy, sweet, hints of caramel, grains, and malts. Caramel notes more present as it warmed, with a sweet aftertaste. Not offensive when warm either. Thin bodied, smooth mouthfeel. Nice to drink on a hot day at the ball park.

Very drinkable and contradicting it a harsh acidic lemon finish. Noticeable hops and light yellow with a decent head. hoppy like a pale ale. More bitter than sweet.
