“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.”

Bottled. A hazy golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet combined with a slight acidity, and light notes of lactic acid, fruit, and spices. The flavor is sweet with notes of milk, malt, and fruit, as well as a light note of spices, leading to a dry spicy finish. Boring.

This ale parallels the description of a pale ale — mild, light bodied, low hop flavor. On the other hand, this particular ale is so filled with canned corn flavor that it is not enjoyable. Light godlen pour with a quickly diminishing white head. Mild aroma, but what is there is sweet malt with only the slightest hint of hops and grass. And then there is the canned corn smell and flavor. Watery texture.

Pours clear pale gold with very weak white head. The mild aroma is sweet pale malts with a slight tartness and hint of banana. The main flavor comes from tart citrus hops with subtle floral hops just behind. Softening the hops for a brief spell is a malt sweetness. I also get a sugar sweetness that lingers there near the end. Not all that enjoyable of an experience. Maybe I was expecting too much.

Bottle from unclemattie; Thanks Matt! My third Cream Ale; Nose of grain and a little caramel; clear gold with a small white head; flavor tastes like air popped popcorn without the butter, a unique grain flavor unlike any of the other 600+ beers I’ve rated.

Bottle Pours a clear very light yellow with a quick fizzy white head. Spotty sheets of lacing. Papery honey pale malt aroma. Very plain and almost watery flavor. Not unpleasant but vey faint soft flavors. Thirst quenching I suppose and this one should have been a bit colder. Not bad, just not very exciting. Soft carbonation and a quickly dissipating trailer. Thanks to Captain Cougar for this one.
