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.”

12oz bottle served in a stem glass. Pours a golden, pale lager looking body with a sudsy, medium sized white head. Aromas is very mild, with corn and some malt/hop notes present. Palate is thin, slightly biting and a bit watery. Flavor is sweet malts, finishing with a clean end. Nothing remarkable, but at the same time nothing offensive, which is just as important to me. Very easy to drink and would be a great session/summer brew.

Pours clear pale gold with very weak white head. The mild aroma is sweet pale malts with a slight tartness and hint of banana. The main flavor comes from tart citrus hops with subtle floral hops just behind. Softening the hops for a brief spell is a malt sweetness. I also get a sugar sweetness that lingers there near the end. Not all that enjoyable of an experience. Maybe I was expecting too much.

12 ounce bottle from pintocb. Pours golden with a white head. Obvious corn aroma with some back ground hops. Corn flavor as well. A touch sweet. Medium body. Not something the hardened beer geek would normaly reach for, but nothing to turn your nose up at either. Thanks Larry.

This beer is directed as a session beer and has all the qualities of one. Pours out yellow with a white head. Armoa is wheat and maybe if you stretch a hint of fruit. Taste is ok, it’s kinda sweet but then you get a burst of wheat and a hint of hops. You could take down many of these things and not bat an eye. Good beer for what is was designed for your your a hophead forget it, if your all about some roasted malts forget it. This beer was meant to be drank and drank again, take it for what it is worth.

The color was golden and the head was thin, gizzy, and off-white. The aroma was a little tart and lacking. The flavor was lacking, The palate was thin-bodied and the finish, clean.

Poured a clear golden brew that looks little better than BMC. The head is thin, white, frothy. The aroma smells like corn and hay, closely resembles macro. The flavor is essentially macro, again, but a little more substantial. The palate is thin and refreshing and it goes down easy.

Bottle. Pours a clear golden with a one finger white head that lasts and leaves minimal lacing. Aroma of of sweet malt, citrus, apricot, and light herbal hops. Taste is lightly sweet and malty. Hints of citrus, apricot, and herbal hops. Slightly thin mouthfeel with a mild bitterness. I found this beer to be quite drinkable and very under rated.

The taste and feel of the beer, seems a bit off. the malts have a bit off astrigent. The hops feels flat against the tongue, average.
