Sugar Hill Golden Ale

Brewed by Olde Saratoga Brewing (Mendocino Brewing Co.)
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
Saratoga Springs, New York USA

Bottle. Clear gold color with big bubbles and a quickly diminishing white foamy head. Very macro-looking. Cereal, apple and grassy hop aromas. Flavor of slightly sweet bready and grainy malt with a citrusy finish. A bit of a musty aftertaste. Medium bodied and fizzy. Not terrible, but definitely forgettable.

Really ugly murky mud-beige appearance. Vague strawlike malt aorma with lots of footy yeastiness. Somewheat astringent and a little spicy. Lots of old house dank yeast. If that’s what they are trying to accomplish, I’m at a loss as to speculate why.

Clear light golden color wth no real head. Aroma is light and sweet. The flavor is clean and refreshing. Sweet but with enough hops to be clean. I kinda like it.

Hazy golden color, poured with a thick white head that fades fast. Very hoppy, sweet aroma. Light body, Crisp clean malts and hops with a bit of a bitter aftertaste. Once was enough.

Dirty hazy golden ale with a thick dense white head. Strong grassy herbal aroma, with some malts. Very restrained hops over a grassy malt and a light body, mineral notes more like a pils.

Bottled. Pours gold with no discernable head and a ring of small bubbles. Smells of sugar, apples and straw. Tastes of chewable vitamins, oranges and pepper. Very foregttable.

Marcello’s Wine Market, Baton Rouge, La. - 12 oz bottle. Pours a murky dark golden with a light but creamy white head. Yeasty, doughy aroma with a touch of honey. Flavor has a touch of lemon, some yeast, and a bit of sweet biscuity maltiness. Not altogther bad. Mouthfeel is a bit cluttered, not exactly smooth. Aftertaste is a bit off - reminiscent of grapefruit juice after toothpaste. Overall, average.
