Port Townsend Chets Gold Golden Ale

Brewed by Port Townsend Brewing Company
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
Port Townsend, Washington USA

22 oz bomber while waiting for a ferry. Pale golden colour, thin white head. Malty aroma,, light caramel. Very thin body, slightly herbal aroma and flavour. Easy to drink if a bit industrial. Grainy malts.

Bottle, from the shack of a fish restaurant across from the Keystone ferry terminal

Bright golden colour. Light malt-accented aroma with shades of hop. Pretty bland stuff. Flavour shows a bit of pale malt, but this doesn’t make much of an impression. When will brewers grasp that just because an ale is golden doesn’t mean it has to suck?

Lightly clouded yellowy amber, sour fruity aroma. Malty, mildly baked bread flavor, sour fruitiness from hops.

Bottle pours golden, miniscule to zero head, very light carbonation, with virtually no carbonation.   Slight aroma of sweet malts, but very subtle.   Flavor too is very subtle, sweet malts, slight grass & grain.   Mouthfeel and body are a bit thin.   Lack of carbonation really detracts from this beer.   Finish is suprisingly smooth and crisp tho.   A step or two below your average Golden Ale because of its lack of liveyness.

Gold appearance--no surprise there!- with a mild body and almost banana touch to the flavor. A slightly interesting blonde ale.

Interesting beer. In one way, a nice pale drinkable blonde. On the other hand, screamed of bubble gum so strong I wanted to chew it. A bit to bubble gummy, I wont be drinking it again.

this was really an outstanding golden ale. I’m not normally a fan of lighter beers, but this one was great, sweet, rich, very well balanced. Outstanding beer.
