“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.”

Bottle: Poured a hazy yellow with a creamy white head. Aroma is soapy, citrus fruit, and bread. Taste is a corny up front, but slowly shows the bitter citrus. Smooth from start to finish.

This beer does not look anything like the glass of beer pictured on this URL. Looks like a pale lager but it has some very interesting precipitants in there. Little flecks of stuff that neither floats nor sinks, just hanging out in there. Slightly bitter but acceptable for an ale. Comes across almost like a bitter pilsner of sorts. On the taste and on the finish. TGA S4L3F3T5010

Bottle. Pour is a clear gold with little head and aromas of honey malt with a touch of floral hops. Flavor is honey sweet with sidenotes of pear, apple and a little bit of citrus. It is not very interesting, but it is not bad, either. This is pleasant enough and goes down easy.

This beer is 3 shades lighter than the picture!! Faded yellow color, fizzy head. Bready and crackery nose. Empty flavor with a touch of dough and a tinge of spicy hop.

Bottle. Weak fruity aroma, hint of tea. Clear golden colour, almost no head. The flavour is quite subtle, slightly teaish. Medium bitterness. A bit boring.
