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.”

Bottle. Light and clear golden pour with little carbonation, slightly fruity aroma. Flavor was l light pear, some hops and finished a little bitter. Not bad!

Poured a slightly hazy lemon yellow with a foamy white head that left light lacing. There were carbonation bubbles rising in the glass. Nice clean roasted malt aroma. The taste was slightly dry and crisp with good carbonation and a citrus flavor that grew stronger on the finish

Transparent gold, decent fluffy white head. Light grain, minor hop and floral in the nose, but all in all somewhat watery, like a weak pilsner. Flavor has more going on, honey and citrus and grass, some bread. Crisp body, light but lingering. Not that great, but I could drink it any day of the year.

12 oz bottle courtesy of GAManiac trade. Thanks, Grant! Pours a glowing golden hue, lively carbonation, with moderate white head that dissipates quickly to a film. Aromas are grainy, a touch pilsner, with honey and slight sweetness. Light grassy hop, touch of stink. Initial is light, a bit grainy, mellow sweetness of honey and grassy hops. Light on taste and body, but on target for what it aspires to be. A decent golden ale overall.

It poured a slightly hazy golden liquid with a small foam that left no lacing. It had a weak aroma of malt, honey, flowery and some sweetness. The taste had malt, some honey, low bitterness. An easy to drink beer, probably works great on the porch in the sun.

On tap at Taco Mac during epic free shirt quest. I asked the bartender to pour me his favorite local/east-coast brew, and this is what I got. Pours clear golden with a small white head. Boring, but maybe refreshing in a certain universe, malty wheatwater. Not really the highlight of the Quest.

hazy golden with large white head. moderate to high carbonation. some hop bitterness upfront with very little discernable malt character, but the subtlety of the flavor makes the beer relatively balanced. some thick mouth feel, due to the lactose, is the most enjoyable part of a lackluster brew

20090518 12oz bottle from Fresh Market in Huntsville AL. Hazy light golden with small but creamy white head that lasts. Aroma is mild and fruity, grape, pear, and some cracker malts. Light bodied, little to no bitterness, quenching light fruitiness, quick dry finish, some lingering wet paper. Uninteresting but reasonably tasty.
