Weeping Radish Corolla Gold Helles Lager

Brewed by Weeping Radish Farm Brewery
Style: Dortmunder/Helles
Jarvisburg, North Carolina USA

Back in the day... living on the Outer Banks. Surfing all day, washing dishes and shucking oysters at night and then drinking beer until the sun came up. Fo shiz-nizzle. P00tz out.

Part of ’’Help clear out the drawer of my beer fridge’’. Pours a golden straw color with a very bubbly head that is gone quickly. Smell is rather corn based. Flavor is light and hoppy. Very highly carbonated. Very bubbly and champagne like. Very light and non-cloying. Refreshing.

Pours a hazy yellow orange with a soapy white head that shows very good retention and excellent lacing. It looks pretty good. Not a lot going on in the smell. The aroma is definitely grainy with some pretty strong sweet malts as well. The taste was a little subpar for me as the grains and malt sweetness are overpowered by a fairly unpleasant sourness that just doesn’t sit right. The mouthfeel is pretty thin with good carbonation. This looks OK and smells OK but the taste seemed off to me.

quite a bitter beer, nothing bad about that though, love how it comes in a stein bottle

Bottle. Brought back from Outer Banks vacation. I love the Black Radish and Altbier, but the Corolla Gold disappointed me. Nothing stuck out as bad but not a memorable beer.

Bottle. Pours a clear golden color. Aroma is malty. Flavor is quite similar, with a slightly sweet light malt flavor. Extremely refreshing and quite enjoyable.

1/2L bottle from the brewery. Mostly clear golden with slight white head. Aroma of carmelized malts. Flavor is slightly sour with a bit of pale malt sweetness and some fruity notes, a grainey finish with just a touch of some hop bitterness.

Not one I would buy. I was given a glass, and it has too much bite and bitterness for me. We had a large bottle directlkly from the new brewery location on the drive from Norfolk to the Outer Banks.
