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 golden yellow color with very little white head. You’ve all had these generic golden ale’s before and this one pretty much falls in line with the rest of them. I understand why breweries make these and because they exist, I feel the need to rate them. Unfortunately, I rarely really enjoy them.

Bottle, labeled Golden Ale. Moderately sweet flavor. Oily and syrupy palate, with medium carbonation levels. Tasty, mildly hoppy, crisp, with flavors of honey, straw and wheat. Smells more of corn, but doesn’t really have any corn in the flavor. OK stuff, nothing great.

This is a very light and refreshing beer. Golden in color, white head. Perfect for sitting around the pool.

Bottle from beer swap: hazy gold in color with a small white head. Aroma was yeasty, some spice, and a bit grassy, some breadiness as well. Flavor, light bodied, lemonysome moderate carbonation. Very mediocre.

Sampled at Music City Brewers Festival as "Golden Ale". Pours golden with white head. Pale malt, sweet biscuit, and faint citrus aroma. Flavor is slightly sweet and grassy with a fairly decent malt backbone. Clean refreshing finish. This is quite good for thirst quenching beer. Much better than drinking macro swill.

Poured to a golden yellow, with thin white head that dissipated quickly, and left little lacing. Aroma was hard to palce, although I did get faint hints of creamy malt. Taste was likewise hard to distunguish, some malt, some hops, not much of anything. Sorry, but nothing special about this one. Best thing I can say is that I will drinkl agian before many macros, but well after many other beers I have rated.

Thin head. Overly fizzy. Bland tasting beer. I expected more from Terrapin. I might as well have bought Bud.
