“With its golden hue and gentle complexity, the Terrapin Golden Ale brings refreshing to a whole new level. Its combination of flavor, smoothness and drinkability is difficult to find in most craft beers. Sometimes even hopheads like us want nothing more than to enjoy a beer that is crisp, smooth and refreshing. That is why we created the perfect session beer - the Terrapin Golden Ale.”

Standard cream ale, grainy and easy-drinking with a pronounced corn sweetness and a dry, floral finish. Pours a lovely gold with a bright, unyielding white head, and the feel comes across smooth and medium-bodied. Preferable to crappy macro lagers, but otherwise a blah pint.

I got this bottle in a trade with leftmindedrighty, Thanks Aaron!

This beer pours from 12oz bottle a slightly hazy light gold with a small, quickly receding head of foam.

The smell is very light..hard to detect anything. Maybe a bit of hops? I keep on sniffing but not much is registering.

The taste is another matter. First thing I notice is a real grainy and bready flavour followed some citrus and a slightly sweet malt flavour. Pretty tasty in my book. It has a light mouthfeel, the carbonation is high, and it finishes with a grassy hop kick that lingers on for some time after the swallow. A pretty nice Golden..err...Cream Ale and one that I could easily kick back a few of.

Thanks again, Aaron!

On tap at the Terrapin Smoke Lounge. Pours a hazy gold with medium frothy white head leaving sticky lacing. The aroma is cream and wheat. Thin mouth, wheat, citrus, light cream in finsh, good.

(Thanks, James "jbruner") Can. A- Corn, grains, straw. A- Golden orange color, clear liquid, white head. T- Corn, slightly sweet, grains, cereal, grassy, subtle spice, butter. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, bland finish. O- Let’s be honest, who likes cream ales. It doesn’t take much to dislike them. I can’t say I have any hate against this but I could leave it. Just bland and boring and a bad aftertaste.

Refrigerated 12 oz. aluminum can from jbruner poured into a can. Clear golden with small white head. Aroma is crisp malt, light body, low carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is light fruit, pilsner malt, crisp hops, and dry finish. Easy to drink, but not much flavor.

Sample at Birch And Barley/Churchkey. Clear yellowish-gold color with a medium thin white head that recedes steadily to a film. Strings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of fruit, bready malt and hops. Light-bodied with flavors of biscuit malt, fruit and grassy hops. The finish is sweet with a malty aftertaste. Average overall.
