Description
AC Golden is a small-batch brewery nestled within the walls of the Coors brewery in Golden, CO. Named in tribute to our founding brewmaster and eternal entrepreneur, Adolph Coors. The thought was to carve out a space that gave our brewers enough runway to invent, explore, and roll up their sleeves to brew exceptional beers that have a story to share. Just like Adolph Coors did back in 1873.

Admin Note: Brewery is located inside the Coors Production facility. Home of the Colorado Native Brand.

24 oz. can from a liquor store in Arvada, CO. Pours a mostly clear gold color with a large white head and excellent retention. Great lacing too. Standard pale malt aroma. Sweet corn and malt flavor with a very slight astringent finish from the 20 IBUs. Clean and smooth. Very easy drinking and enjoyable. Wish I bought more. Medium body and lower than average carbonation. Very low bitterness. Good beer.

Can. Pours a clear, golden color, with a big, foamy, white head. The aroma is cereals, rose, straw, and light resin. Sweet and malty, with a lovely, crisp bitterness. Light, a little earthy, and clean. Nice, crisp, and balanced.

Pours reddish amber with a thick foamy head. Aroma of malt, grains. Taste has watery malt, some hops, lingering grassy notes. Palate has some of the same, weak malt. Eh.
