This easy-drinking session beer pours a deep golden color. It smells slightly floral and herbal, thanks to a hopback full of Cascade and Centennial hops. Gold is tasty and refreshing, with a round mouthfeel. In 2010, it took awards at both the Great American Beer Festival and the World Beer Cup.

This beer was swiped from the fridge of a friend. As such it was free to me so at least I can say that I got my money’s worth out of the experience. It came in a 12 oz bottle with nothing really remarkable about it. It poured a pleasant medium golden color with a nice medium creamy head. I am rather fond of creamy heads on beers so this did raise my hopes some. The aroma was sweet and vaguely grainy. Acceptable but not particularly enjoyable. The flavor was a bit dry, had some recognizable malt elements and was saved by a nice moderate hop presence. In all the hops really rescue this beer from total mediocrity. There is not a great deal of body to this beer, but I was able to drink it without regret.
