Brewing Extra Gold Lager requires uncommon patience. Patience in the slow aging of the roasted malts. Patience to take the thtree extra brewing steps needed to craft every batch. This added time and effort yeilds an exceptional, refined lager.

Review from notes, sampled 12/14/2007 My friends dad drinks this, so occasionally I’ll end up having one or two with him. It’s not bad for a macro lager, certainly more body in this one than some of the others. Pours a golden amber with a thin white head that dissipates quickly. Smells of noble hops some clean malts and a bit of skunk. Taste is macro mouthfeel is thin and watery. I have trouble with these, because they are so light I can finish them rather quickly and they can catch up to me. Not bad, not great, but not bad.

Sampled from a 12 oz can this beer poured a golden-amber color with a huge yellow-white head that lingered. The aroma was sweetish, tangy and had a faint fruity presence. The flavor was sweet, tangy, fruity and tart. Medium length finish. Medium body. Decent for what it is.

Well, I drank it out of a can. It really wasn’t so bad. It was swill, but it had some taste. Totally drinkable at the end of the day and it is pretty cheap to boot.

Light green apple aroma, which is probably a flaw but works in this beer. Simple malt flavor. Good for what it is.

Saw a case of this at the Beaver County Beverage for $8.50. That’s about $2 a six pack. I knew it was by a macro brewer, but not sure who till I got it home. I think I recall the TV push behind this beer when it first arrived on the scene. I’m drinken this as I rate, it is not a memory ticker. 12 oz pop top can with a slightly attractive gold and black look about it, go Steelers, Pirates & Penguins. When you crack open the can you can smell some pleasing mellifluous hints. I also noticed it lacks that average yeasty beer aroma so common with most other brews. I was surprised this was not darker than the other wonted pale yellow american beers, considering the auric name and label. There is no head, not even a girdle around the inside of the glass, just a film of froth on top, like brewed tea. A steady stream of bubbles rises from within this clear brew. This beer does have the etiquette of a gentleman, no bitterness and well behaved. Sweetish, without being too sweet, nice balance of malts without offending the taste buds. I do notice after many sips that there is a hint of alky flavor in there, almost like a malt liquor without the acrid bite. On the back of the tongue I get notable medium carbonation. Finish is ever so slightly industrial without the nimiety of metal. Overall, this is a well behaved galumptious old lager, enjoyable, repeatable and good bargain for the price. Though this is not even close to the enjoyability of Schmidt’s, Carlsberg and Rolling Rock, it is on par with the like of Stella Artois, Miller Highlife and Molsons Canadian. It is in good company with good lagers. Much better tasting and more enjoyable as an economy brew when compared to King Lager and City Lager.

Used to call this Coors Extra Hangover. Price helps the flavor - good for a camping trip or a day at the racetrack - otherwise unremarkable. Slightly more flavor than regular Coors

Can version. I paid exactly 50 cents to try this. I was all ready to make fun of the name but this beer really does have an nice gold color which surprised me. It smelled and tasted pretty crappy though, and that didn't surprise me at all.
