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.”

This beer was just terrible. Had it in a mixed 12 pack labeled ’all the hits’. This one is a sure miss. I’m sure the rest will be better....they couldn’t get any worse.

bottle, pours gold with a tall frothy white head. Strong sweet corn aroma with a sour hop note. Nice sweet pale malt and orange flavor with a nice lingering finish of malt and creamy oats. This is what a session beer is all about.

A straw colored and bland beer. The white head leaves come nice lacing around the glass. The nose is slightly creamy with a touch of hops and biscuity malt. The body is rather light, with some flavors of cream, biscuits, light hops, earth and wood. The finish is a little sour and unpleasant. There really isn’t much to this beer at all.

There is a light haze to this sandy coloured beer. Aromas most reminiscent of honey on toast. Loads of honey in the mouth too with a reasonable toastiness and crispness. Not much of a bite but it is delicious (though a little over carbonated).

10th May 2008. Low carbonation. A pleasant maltiness, not overly hopped. Nice on a hot day!

Bottle. Translucent pale gold body with a generous white, effervescent head. Aroma is predominantly bread and butter, undertones of bubblegum, apricot and citrus notes, subtle hints toward maltiness, and a floral estery finish. Flavor is bready, buttery around the sides, peppery, slightly fruity, mellow hints of orange zest permeate the light body, and generally mellifluous. Not bad at all but not my taste either for a session. Could make an interesting brew with a little more gravity.

It was a mild, pale, light-bodied ale with low to mediumish bitterness and low hop and aroma. Liked this a lot. It was smooth and very satisfying.

Bottle, April 2008 tasting. Pale gold colour. There is a dab of citrus in the aroma and flavour but it is hidden under too much paper and cardboard. I don’t know how old this beer was but it certainly seemed a bit stale and oxidised. Which is going to be a killer in a relatively delicate beer that is supposed to be clean, straightforward and drinkable, freshness would be a key element. Not undrinkable but marked for re-rate of a fresh sample when the opportunity arises.
