Terrapin Golden Ale (Cream Ale)

Brewed by Terrapin Beer Company
Style: Cream Ale
Athens, Georgia USA

Bottle. I don’t know what deftim13 is talkin about this beer is clear gold like a pilsner. The aroma is somewhat like a funky tripel...odd. Light bread, grains, and a yeasty characteristc that smells a bit like body odor. There’s more to it but I’m having a tough time nailing it down. I’m pretty sure it’s a characteristic of the yeast though. The taste is watery and unbalanced. There’s no way I could session this stuff.

Bottle. Pours dark gold almost brown with a thick 1 finger head. Smell is malt, light citrus hop and bready grain. Light watery malty taste. Light bitterniss with a creamy mouthfeel. Smooth but a little watery. Nothing special.

Bottle. Pours a clear golden copper color. Crisp, thick fluffy white head. No lacing, really. Grainy aromas, slight maltiness, hops are subdued. Apples, grainy malt presence, wet citrus. Bland. Clean and refreshing, watery body, very easy to drink. It’s as advertised by Terrapin: good sessioner.

Kind of bland, but a decent beer. Pours a golden color with no head. A malty smell that is very faint, barely there at all. All and all though its an alright beer.

Clear gold with nice fluffy white head. Has a sweet dough smell with hints of clove and the slightest hint of funk. Flavor has a Whit-like resemblance. A bit watered down and thin. Palate is averag - but highly carbonated and still boring. Thicker than the appearance suggests - but still not thick enough.

Pours golden with a bubbly carbonation stream rising up in the pilsner glass. Small white head. Doesn’t look like the color in the picture shown at all... Creamy, malty nose. Taste is fairly bland but crisp malt mainly with surprisingly light carbonation and a light somewhat balancing bitterness. Decent for what it is.

6 pack from publix. Pours a small head that vanishes quicly.Golden hue. Minimal lacing, no tracers. Aroma is faintly caramel with a tiny hint of citrus. Crisp finish. This is a good beer and I would love to try it again on a very hot humid summer day in SC. I will recommend it to my equal BB

Bottle from TURDFERGUSON. Pour is murky yellow...small white head with no retention. Aroma of corn and grain. Flavor is sweet, cheap malt. lite and watery body. Big meh.
