Our flagship beer is the epitome of a lager. It is the beer you can enjoy everyday no matter the occasion. Whether you’re celebrating a victory of your favorite sports team, or throwing back a couple with friends or coworkers, this beer is unobtrusive. It is the cold, crisp, light, yet flavorful accompaniment to life. Just enough malt and noble hop flavor to subconsciously remind you how enjoyable it is after every sip, while not distracting you from making unforgettable memories. This is the style our Goldfinger ancestors would have brewed and certainly would have enjoyed.

Canned April 13th 2021.
Pours a pale gold with a large head of foam.
I note bready and toasted malt with a bit of spicy hops in the smell.
Taste matches the smell. So crisp and clean and nicely balanced. Easy drinking. Hoppiness is very Noble like.
Medium body with lively carbonation.
So tasty and satisfying. A hit.

There's a bit of dry hop in the nose, though surrounded by sweet malt. Not the beer” smell of, say, a PBR. Bright gold color, a healthy white head. Taste is nice and malty. I take back my impression of dry hop. Rather there's just enough to keep to basic beer taste, moreso than its nose. A bit more mouthfeel than the thin megabrews. I'm calling a bit of fruity estrr from the yeast. Like a concentrated PBR, I'd say. Very much more ordinary than the Pils. Not as crushable as the style might suggest. But a good base beer.
