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.

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.

Draft. Clear golden body. Frothy white head. Slight aroma of pine, toasted grain, resin. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly sweet and lightly bitter. Thin to medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation. Looks good. Tastes like not much. Just sits there, a pale lager version of an IPA.

12 oz. bottle purchased in Frisco, Colorado. Pours a clear amber color with a tiny beige head and poor retention. Spotty lacing. Strong caramel malt aroma. Good caramel flavor, but overall not as smooth as most amber lagers. Flat mouthfeel. Medium body. Decent, but I expected better.

750 mL bottle, shared. Pours a hazy, orange color, with a small, bubbly, off-white head. The aroma is mellow plums, cherries, cloves, and some light, lacto funk. Sweet and lightly tart. Medium body, with a creamy, sticky, and lightly acidic mouthfeel. This is a mellow, fruity, and delicious sour.

Drunk from a 12 oz. bottle. The aroma is pretty good caramel malts, rye, brown sugar, and dirt. Malty sweetness, with a light bitterness. Light to medium body, grainy, chewy, and clean. This is a solid, flavorful, and easy beer.
