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.

Not sure how available this bottle is (apparently not too much), but it was given to me by P. Tilquin who got it through the brewer himself. De couleur acajou profond allant presque sur le pourpre, col blanc rosé. Arôme est profond au niveau fruité de mûres avec ces effluves vinaigre-aigre très prenante. Palais offre bien le caractère des mûres qui alternent un fruité aigrelet complété par ce côté levure sauvage quasi vinaigré. Le tout garde une petite touche presque cerise, pointe terreuse du fruité. Certaine teneur en bouche avec un pétillant accompagné à des pointes aigres qui donnent une très belle dimension à chaque gorgée. Solide.

75 cl. bottle sampled @ RBBWG 2014. Courtesy of & thx! to Sebletitje. Zero head, reddish brown. Nice funk in the nose, touch vinegar, tangy, sour fruits, feels mole like cherry or berries in general than blackberry to me. Good body, rich taste, quite sour with lots of unidentifiable berries, tangy, lemon, good sour malts, touch vinegar, almost overkill in sourness but avoids doing so. Beats quite a few USA sours out there. MillerCoors has the money, talent & time. No surprise there, just didn’t expect them to start experimenting with products like this.

Imported from my RateBeer account as AC Golden Hidden Barrel Blackberry (by Coors Brewing Company (Molson Coors)):
Aroma: 5/10, Appearance: 3/5, Taste: 5/10, Palate: 3/5, Overall: 10/20, MyTotalScore: 2.6/5

18/I/14 - 75cl bottle @ RBBWG III, my place - BB: n/a (2014-74) Thanks to Sebletitje for sharing the bottle!

Clear red brown beer, big aery fizzy off-white head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: very earthy, tobacco, sourish, dirty, lots of lacto bacillus, vinegar even. MF: soft carbon, medium to light body. Taste: sour start, quite some chlorine, earthy, dirty, unpleasant vinegar sourness. Aftertaste: very dry, lots of bitter tannins, mouth puckering dryness, astringent, unpleasant. Reminds me of a Bourgogne wine, and I (especially) don't like those.

Bottle shared by me at Blippsmas. Brought back by me from Denver. Pours dark brown with brown head. Nose and taste of fudge, milk chocolate, brownie, charred oak, cheap whiskey and vanilla. Medium body. A bit artificial. Not as good as expected given the ratings. The sours by AC Golden were much better.

GABF 2013. Pours a hazy dark orangish brown appearance with a light brown head. Fairly toasted malty, caramel, lightly smoky, a touch fruity aroma which was not bad but the flavor was a bit twangy with even more fruits. I enjoyed AC Golden’s IPL a fair bit, but many of other attempts at German style beers have all tasted a bit off to me.

American Wild Ale from AC Golden Brewing Company

8.5/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 9 Flavor 9 Texture 8 Overall 8
GABF 2013. Pours a lightly cloudy yellow orange appearance with a white head. Huge fucken cheesy, vanilla, very funky, oak aroma with a touch of pear and white grape. Lightly tart, cobweb, tangy lemon lactic, cheesy, pineapple flavor with just a bit of lasting acidity. One of my favorites of GABF and damn near as good as Colorambic, which is quite similar in flavor and complexity. Chill brew.
