Sand Creek Golden Ale

Brewed by Sand Creek Brewing Co. (Pioneer/Wisconsin Brewing Co.)
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
Black River Falls, Wisconsin USA

Pours a dark golden color, small white head. Aroma is malty and sweet. Flavor is watery, sweet, with very little hop presence.

Poured a medium golden color with a smaller sized white head. Not real much to the aromas and tastes to this one. Some spices and mostly malts. Nothing really distinct. Maybe some light caramel in there. Thinner body.

For a supposedly well crafted micro this stuff blows.Very one dimensional tongue scraper brew. Knda tastes like it was brewed with bottom of the creek water. Blah!

Darkish amber, minimal fading head. Budweiser papery hops aroma. Fake sweet roses with budweiser hops taste and finish. A bit too sweet... I’d prefer a Bud I think, because of its simplicity.

Pours a thin white head that thins, but is kept alive by sheer force of will. Nose is weird - lavender ? Thank god it’s weak. Color is hazy blonde. Taste is flowery too., but pretty bland overall. Sharp up front then fizzy and fruity. A pretty indecent beer.

Bottle: Golden hue with initial big frothy head and okay lace. The aroma has notes of grassy hops, soapy and bready, light lemon and apple, not much else. The taste was crisp light fruits and a small sample of hops. Yep your standard "for the masses and just above the level of swill" blond ales. The feel was crisp and refreshing, but then again so is cold water on a hot day. Pass.

Another of those underwelming beers. Oh well, I got it for free due to a bet. Go Red Soxs!!!

GLBF: Light body, thin. Some hoppyness at the finish. Malts are light. Not much going on, but rather a simple, nice beer...probably better suited for session!
