Commercial Description:
“With its golden hue and gentle complexity, the Terrapin Golden Ale brings refreshing to a whole new level. Its combination of flavor, smoothness and drinkability is difficult to find in most craft beers. Sometimes even hopheads like us want nothing more than to enjoy a beer that is crisp, smooth and refreshing. That is why we created the perfect session beer - the Terrapin Golden Ale.”

Pours a straw yellow with a creamy white head that skims the surface of the beer. Aroma of lemon and bread. Flavor of citrus-lemon, bread, and a touch of hops. Crisp and refreshing.

Out of the bottle, so I’ll just give an average appearance. Smooth malty aroma and flavor. Good not great.

Thanks to markwise. Clear gold, effervescent, nice white head, temporary lace. Aroma has a light malt syrup aroma, a bit of grass in the background, crisp and clean. Flavor is generally sweet and malty. First impression was extremely bready, with stale notes, but these faded after a few sips. Medium body. Fine session brew.

Bready, generic aroma, boring not appetizing with lemon biscuit... Pours a pale yellow... Clean flavor with some hops but more bready malts dominate the minimal flavor... Surprisingly refreshing...

aroma is bland and bready with a hint of slightly sour hops. pours a clear golden color with a thin white head. very mild flavor with a bit of hops towards the end. mouthfeel does have some creaminess to it and the finish is slightly hoppy and dry. not a bad beer but not very exciting either.

Interesting brew. Golden pour mild fruit and hop aroma. Floral taste with hints of fruit. It was a decent beer.

[bottle] Slightly sulfury aroma with some sweet malt and pineapple. Foggy straw with a quickly dropping, thin white cover. Crisp base malt followed by soda water with lemon, ending with a weak pineapple note. Crisp and clean, moderate carbonation, light body. Quaffable, but boring.

Pours a very light gold with two fingers of frothy head that turns into a crown with active carbonation. Smells..like a macro lager. I’m not sure why I get a corn scent as this isn’t an adjunct. Doesn’t taste much better, very watery with malt leading the way and a lighter hop presence. Mouth is thin with medium carbonation. This is easy as hell to drink but I don’t really get a reason to go back to this beer, even within the terrapin lineup.
