Golden Eagle, inspired by the most noble of the American birds of prey is a classic Czech style pilsner made with super soft water and noble Saaz hops for a refreshing and crisp finish with just a hint of spice.

clear yellow, smooth white head
whole-grain bready malty aroma , crisp, with very fine subtle yeast fruity notes, also a very subtle nearly undetectable hoppy note to balance the malts. pretty solid aroma for a pilsener. all the notes are initially signalling craft beer, not industrial beer. however after a few minutes in the glass, i do get some cardboardy and metallic notes that i most often find in cheap lager.
flavor is ever so slightly fruity, bready (whole grain) dry nutty malty, fitting almost flavorless hoppy bitterness, mineral watery texture. mild and subtle in strength, works really well as a dry high drinkability lager.

Can from Appellation Wines.
Appearance - golden yellow with a slight haze and a creamy white head.
Nose - orange and peach, some zest and slight grassiness.
Taste - tangy orange, going into marmalade, canned peach and apricot.
Palate - light to medium bodied, tangy middle and finish.
Overall - very fruity for a lager, quite enjoyed it but not on style.

On tap at Famous Royal Navy Volunteer Bristol. Clear gold colour lasting white head. Diacetyl butterscotch aroma. Shame as butterscotch dominant through out the beer.. Disappointed diacetyl all through

Keg @ Crown & Kettle, Manchester. Golden with plenty of carbonation and a thick creamy-frothy head. The current house lager of the Crown and Kettle so inevitable I would try this eventually! Good looking, ordinary nose, a few notches better than the macro stuff in taste.

On tap at The Famous Royal Navy Volunteer, pours a clear pale golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out those spicy Czech Saaz hops, with gentle grassiness, and crisp crackery malt. Flavour is crisp, with lots of spicy Saaz hops and crisp crackery malt. I wouldn't have guessed this is gluten free. Very nicely hopped, with a spicy, crisp finish. Good stuff.
