Pours pale gold with a big white head. Nose is malt and corn. Taste is bread, grass, fruit, and spice. The combination of flavors didn’t mix well for me on this one.

Dec 4, 2009 Tried this at Hotel ZaZa Dragonfly Lounge on a recent trip to Dallas. Pours a straw color with a thin white head. Aroma of light caramel and some biscuity malts . Taste includes lots of fruity notes, grasses, yeast and some light spice. Moderate carbonation and mouthfeel. Nothing incredible but certainly drinkable.

Nov 23, 2009 Not much too special here. Tastes like PBR with a hint of lemon. Not very crisp. Passable.

Oct 19, 2009 12oz bottle from my brothers buddy Brent in Texas, thanks man. Rating #150. Gold/yellow pour with a white head. Very nice aroma, bready, malty and crisp. Flavor was the similar, lots of grain, malty and very drinkable, I could see myself drinking this on a regular basis if it was available. (1031)

Oct 18, 2009 Sample at the Texas Beer & Brats tasting 10/11/2009 (as both Alamo Golden and Firemans #4). The beer is a slightly hazy golden color with a thin white head that burns away quickly. Grainy malt in the nose as well as light grassy hops. Light body with mild hops and malt flavors (and some sweet fruit in the case of Alamo). The finish is clean and malty with notes of corn (and tropical fruit again with Alamo). Barely average in both cases.

Oct 12, 2009 Bottle shared by Dogbrick. Pours clear gold with a thin white head. Creamy and grainy nose that has some hints of corn. Creamy and grainy malt flavor with some crisp hop at the end. Had this the same night as Alamo Golden Ale not knowing it was the same beer and was sort of surprised it was the same. While they were very similar, I got some subtle peach flavor out of the Alamo that I didn’t get out of the Fireman’s.
