Terrapin Golden Ale (Cream Ale)

Brewed by Terrapin Beer Company
Style: Cream Ale
Athens, Georgia USA

Golden color (no pun intended), very thin head that dissapates very quickly. Its a drinkable beer. I wouldnt buy a 6 pack though. Bitter end by the way.

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.

Cloudy gold with a small white head...Light malt aroma with a hint of hops...Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel...Light flavor of malt...Crisp finish...Excellent session ale...

I spotted this beauty for the first time today at my local package store in bottles, so I had to grab a six pack. As I poured the chilled bottle into the obligatory Pilsner glass, I observed a crystal clear, golden yellow, well carbonated beer with a smallish head. While the look was similar to many macro lagers, the smell was that of a much better crafted beer, with the sweet honey like malts touched by a hint of hops. The presence of slight cooked corn smell was the only distracting point, but based on the description on the neck label, this was likely intentional. The taste was delicate, and far from simplistic. The sweet malts and corn juice were balanced well by the bitterness of the hops. Light and clean, without being grainy or bland, this beer will be well liked by most newcomers to the craft scene. The body was silky smooth and flawless in the mouthfeel department despite the low strength. As the label proclaims, like sunshine in a glass. Never will I have to revert to a macro again.

Creamy flavor, light sweet. Not bitter at all... wonderful palate, Golden honey flavor. very slight bitter... slight citrus... strong sweet... slight malty. Not bad at all... for a light beer.

Light golden brew with a slight straw, grassiness on the nose. The flavor is definitely creamy and smooth with very delicate hop notes that are like afterthoughts. Almost like butter. Delicate but the flavor is there. Refreshing, super crisp but nothing excessive and holds up well to the end of the bottle. Overall good beer. Pack some in the cooler on outdoor trips.

Pours a beautiful golden yellow glass with a thin white creamy head. The smell isn’t quite appealing, quite honesty it seems a little like grass, but it does have a thirst quenching creamy taste and go’s down extremely smooth.

Taste 7/8 (bottle Date7/8) Looks: Golden body/ thin white head. Aroma: Grain, caramel, a little toasted barley. Nice sour. Taste: Nice sour and malt combination. Sour, mild crispness; with a decent malt thickness. Good.
