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.

Bottle shared by Aaron, thanks! Pours a hazy deep ruby red with a reddish tan head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has rich raspberry with some light funk and a touch of dark grain. Flavor has acidic raspberry that mellows into a tartness with light funk backing.

On tap @ Avery Sour Fest 2014. Cloudy yellow orange appearance wit ha white head. Bright juicy peach aroma with a bit of cheese, mold, and stinky feet. Truly incredible fruit in the nose. The flavor is bright and very juicy. Lots of tropical fruit - mango, pineapple, apricot, peach - to go with some light floral / herbal notes. Moderately sour. Pretty delicious. I’ve had this on a couple of occasions but forgot to rate.

On tap @ Avery Sour Fest 2014. Pours a hazy yellow orange appearance with a white head. Tangy green apple / cucumber, dirty, boozy aroma. Some green veggie (celery, cucumber) and green fruit (apple) offered in the flavor (yum a dum dum). Light tartness. Not overly sweet. Messy, dirty, filthy, and not fun to drink.

On tap @ Avery Sour Fest 2014. Pours a murky brown appearance with a light brown head. The aroma had a lot of notes from the barrels - coconut, stringy oak, vanilla, and some whiskey - along with a pronounced nuttiness. The flavor was strange - tangy with some acetic acid, whiskey, caramel, and nougat. Moderately sweet. Low bitterness. Not overly harsh finish. The flavor just wasn’t all that good and I question if the sourness was even on purpose.
