The new lineup at Archipelago features four regulars and a rotating "limited edition". The bar won’t always tell you which one it is...but Fal told me we had the Golden Ale at Queen & Mangosteen and that sounds about right. Sparkly straw colour. Thin head . Has a light hop nose. Soft, nice with nice almost vinous taste (is that some sauvin in here?) with light balancing malt. Decent balance - I might like more hop but the character of this beer is breezy and refreshing.
