Aug 10, 2008 This is a solid blonde. A slight spicy hop aroma hits the nose. The first taste is completely carbonation and quickly turns into a slight sourness. Smooth would be the word to describe this palette!

Nov 23, 2007 Why go to a local bar for a $5 pint when you can come here for fresh brewed beer 22 oz. for $5 or $3 pint. That being said, they have $6 growlers. Fantastic price. You get what you pay for? Decent beer. Not hoppy at all. Mildly sweet. Nothing spectacular. In the Castro area? Cannot beat the beer or the restaurant.

Aug 5, 2007 Tap.
Clear light ale, faint fruit aromas, almost in ESB territory, but a very subdued flavor with a whisp of hops on the tail end. Perfectly nice, very clean, easy-drinking.

May 18, 2007 On tap at the Tied House in San Jose. Alpine Gold is a sparkling pale gold ale with a small white head. The aroma is of fresh pine hops. The mouthfeel is watery and chalky. The flavor is crisp and quick, with a tiny puff of bitterness. The aroma really saves this one, even if it seems a little out of place.
