About
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 slightly hazy light amber with airy off-white head. Clear aroma of spices, malt and hops. Bitter, hoppy flavour, with notes of citrus and touches of malt. Sweetish and spicy aftertaste. Not bad. I think all beers of this style should be made in the US. Then I would just love them.

Bottle thanks to Rainer. Pours a cloudy brown with no head. The aroma is a strong berry, oak, wood, funk. Thin mouthfeel with nice tart raspberry and oak. Easy to drink, very impressive.

Bottle @ Steve_0’s place. Thanks to Stephen! Pours a deep reddish orange appearance with a thin head. Caramel, vanilla, dark berry, oaky nose. Thick blackberry, light vinegar, fairly tart, vanilla, woody flavor. Tasty brew but not on the same level as VSB for me.

5.2/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 5
750mL bottle, assumedly recent, sampled 3/15/14
Dark red raspberry/cola colored beer has a fizzy, burgundy tinged head that runs for the edges quickly.
A quick burst of blackberry notes are quickly ushered out of the way by heavy, heavy valeric/isovaleric acidity. Burning band-aids, cheese rind, limeskin, that sort of thing.
Light caramel and blackberry flavor is immediately bullied by the massive brett tart/sourness. Nearly acetone-like, with just too much biting, gripping tartness. Unripened green apple extract concentrated. Seems like the fermentation temps were just way too high. Overattenuated to the extreme.

750ML, Looks like robitussin. dark maroon cherry, no head. Super vinegar heavy, sweet and raisins with cherry wine. Holy crap, this is a sour bomb. tastes like really cheap sour candies I had as a kid, apples and fruit by the foot.

On tap @ Boulder Strong Ale Fest 2014. Pours a hazy dark orange appearance. Aroma had a touch of citrus but mostly a bunch of dough, cracker, and biscuit. Kind of a chewy / doughy malty flavor. Booze is a bit strong. Bready. Not a big fan.

7.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8
Bottle. Cloudy yellow liquid with minimal white head. Aroma of lemon, funk, apple skin/red apples, light grain and wood. Taste is dry and medium sour with notes of lemon, apples and barnyard. Medium bodied with low to medium carbonation. Quite funky and balanced, really true to style (lambic that is). Impressing!
