St. George Golden Ale is based on an old British recipe, but with an American twist - a slightly sweet, malty flavor with a citrusy finish. It has a thick, creamy head and is golden amber in color.

From notes: Aroma is very present - all hop though. I even put in my notes this was more of an APA than a golden ale, funny. Yeah so its another in a long line of west coast like APA’s that I have been drinking recently. Nice but becoming too ordinary at the moment.

Medium white head on a golden body. Sweet malt aroma. Sweet malty flavor that goes down quite well.

Bottle. Copper color. Hop taste, with a slight citrus taste. Refreshing, easy to drink beverage.

The way I describe the color os this is brownish green- though my companions said they saw no green. I guess it’s more of a deeper honey/olivish color. Small head. Smells of yeast and honey. Tastes the same- lots of yeastiness all over. Malty.

Hazy orange/golden in colour with a large dense off-white head that lasts and lasts. Smells just like an American Pale and has very nice hoppy characteristics. Some malt is also noticeable in the aroma...this is one of the best aromas i've ever come across for the style...if not the best. Strong malt presence with a bit of a hop kick near the end of the taste. Not much with other flavours other than just the strong malt and the hops. Aftertaste a bit bittered from the hops and still reminiscent of the malt. Overall, a decent beer, and one of the best Blonde's I've had! Aroma and appearance are spot-on but the taste is lacking quite a few knocks. Worth picking up if you like the style or are in the mood for a 'lighter' beer. I bought this twelve ounce bottle at Total Wine in Chantilly, Virginia.
