A Colorado favorite since 1989, Buffalo Gold is the definitive golden ale. The mild maltiness gives way to a unique floral character generated by a perfect balance of Cascade hops. Our lightest beer in flavor, it’s an easy-drinking beer that still packs a stampede of flavor.

Bottled. Golden colour, small head. Aroma is hops, paper and some slight nutty notes. Flavour is caramel, malts, grass and not very much other stuff. Drinkable and refreshing, but that’s about it.

Clear golden color, small white head. Rye bread, light yeasty and citrusy notes in the nose. Hard watery mouthfeel, light citrusy malty flavors. Refreshing but way too light to be really interesting.

Aroma of medium brown malt backed by non-descript hop. The malt seems dominant. Brassy color with a white head that left tatters of light lacing. Bit thin in the body. The carbonation is sharp. Something of a citrus impression - like sour fruit. That’s not bad, just different. There’s a fruit/veg note to the fairly dry finish - sort of a mouth coat. A note of citrus sour to the back of the mouth. Bitter is sort of a background to all that. Lots of pejorative terms above, and they really aren’t intended in a bad way. It is a different and interesting ale. Very quaffable.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of Degarth. Pours a clear, deep golden with a small, white head. Typical American aroma hoppiness in the nose. Fairly light body, light notes of malt and some overripe fruit. The finish is dry. 200507

Bottle from Rock Bottom in Denver: Pale golden color with a medium thin white head and thin rings of lacing. Vinegar dominates the nose making me wary of a bad bottle. Light-bodied and astringent, tasting of stale malt and vinegar. The finish is overly tart with more sourness. Assuming Rock Bottom is carrying old stock, either way this was pretty much undrinkable.

This is a rating for the Rockies Brewing Co contract version (bottle). Bright gold with a large white creamy head. Gentle hop aromas and light fruit make me think immediately of Kolsch - but the flavor takes another turn entirely. Slightly sour with light malt and medium non-descript hop presence. Unbalanced bitter finish, due to lacking malt. Clean overall and fairly drinkable.
