Kalik Gold was introduced in 1992 as a limited edition brew to mark the 500th anniversary of Columbus’ landing in the new world. CBL produces Kalik Gold permanently; it has an alcohol content of 7%. It is bolder and richer than regular lager beers and exemplifies the valor, vigor and sense of adventure that drove Columbus to our shores. Kalik Gold is the brand we use to sponsor Homecomings, these are events held outside of New Providence (the most populated Island) where locals native to other Islands go back home once a year to meet with family, celebrate and have a great time.

Bottle. Better than the regular Kalik but not as good as Sands. Actually not bad while laying in a hammock on the beach.

Bottle from total wine & more in st peat. Clear 12 ounce bottle, if you round it up. A little bit of bitter bite up front. Taste is a little more than I expected, considering the original kalik's behavior. Yes, some astringent aftertaste following each gulp. Yes, a little personality. Not bad for a lager, funny its rated as a malt liquor, its more like a premium lager. Kalik gold malt likker, pretty funny, I didn't know they made malt likker in euro countries! LOL

Clear bottle. Clear pale yellow pour with a white head and decent retention. Spotty lacing. Skunky aroma. Fairly pedestrian taste. Slightly sharp boozy finish. Decent for a malt liquor buzz.

11.67 oz bottle (I know right?!) Bottle poured. Huge thanks to Jow for this bottle. Upon receiving this, I knew it would be opened with luttonm, because what is a tasting with luttonm be without a random international lager? Definitely my first bottle in this size, and first Bahamas brew, so this is awesome. Clean golden pour, appearance is slightly thick. Aroma is an initial skunk. It settles to a corn cream. Flavor is a thicker creamy sweet malt and softer than expected corn note. Some butter? Popcorn? Eh, not quite that far. A nice imperial imbternational pale lager here. Certainly doesn't lack flavor, so it stands up above a lot of the others. With how hot it probably is in the Bahamas, I'd probably seek out Kalik Session IPA, or Kalik Light, but this is an awesome one to try for sure. Thanks again, Jow!

Bottle at home need the malt liquor rate and kalik has added benefit of good times had in Bahamas memories woriking in its favor. Deeper gold color. Nose is corn and grain. Tastes richer than expected decent body. Corn and grain maybe some caramel. Golden flavor through and through. Some of that weird malt liquor flavor but in nice way.

33 cl bottle at The Poop Deck in Nassau, Bahamas. Brassy gold color. Small foamy white head. Light fruity malt nose hints at corn and alcohol. Flavor is light grainy, corn syrup and citrus. Noticeable boozy notes. A bit more pop than regular Kalik.
