Suntory Golden Ale 5% They nailed the color. It is indeed a bright clear Gold with a think off-white head that has decent staying power. The aroma is too sweet, grainy, lemon and some odd glue like or plasticine/paste character. It reminds me of putting up wall paper, not unpleasant really but definitely weird in a beer. The flavor is similarly odd, plasticine, chalky, grainy, too sweet but the finish is crisp & fairly dry. Not horrible but not good. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Can from Family Mart. Similar nose to the pumpkin (did they not clean the tanks or what?) with some grass and cardboard. Taste is harshly grassy with a sharp metal blade like bitterness. Overly carbonated for the style. Dumped after 3 drinks. Nope. --- Beer merged from original tick of Craft Select Golden Ale on 06 Nov 2015 at 22:07 - Score: 3

Tall boy can. Innocuous nose, honey malts, some sulfer or chalk, like in their Pumpkin, fruits, but hard to say which kind. Just a bit estery and very low hop. Deep gold heading to orange, tall head. Sweet, touch of candy, like Estern banana candy, touch of orange, biscuits and honey. Very sweet. Otherwise decent enough, though one is sufficient. They really haven’t gotten many of these right, if any.
