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.

Bomber sampled at a tasting. From notes. Tart peach with a dose of spicy hops. Not really getting any of the oak though. Again, i always knew the big guys could brew decent beer.

Colorado Native Amber Lager from AC Golden Brewing Company

6.2/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6
From a 12 bottle shared at home. Pours a clear amber with an off white head. Light malty aroma. Some grassy notes. Effervescent but quite smooth and refreshing. I was prepared to not like this beer because it is from a behemoth brewery, but it was actually pretty darn good.

Bottle @ Crooked Stave WWBV pre-party and again at Avery/Boulder Sourfest 2013. Pours a cloudy yellow appearance with a white head. Wow! Very funky, lemony, lactic, cheesy (!), vanilla, barnyard aroma. More funk in the flavor along with some bread, must, vanilla, citrus, and cheese. Holy shit this is good. Troy is doing some really unbelievable things these days and this is exhibit A. FUCK YEAH!

Hidden Barrel Apricot from AC Golden Brewing Company

7.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 7 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8
75cl bottle, splt with Tomaz, courtesy of Pierre. Bottled 04/12/2012, batch#2. Wow, Coors ... seriously? Couleur orangée-dorée présentant un léger voile brumeux, le col est blanc qui disparait assez vite. Arôme restitue parfaitement les abricots avec un bouquet laissant pointer des notes boisées, fine aigreur de brett et ce côté fruité fermenté. Le grain est juste présent en rétro-nasal ajoutant ce côté rustique que l’on retrouve dans certaines gueuzes. Palais est très léger, subtile mélangeant allègrement les notes fruitées des abricots avec une pointe épicée de boisé-chêne. La fin de bouche est aigre finement acidulé venant du brett mais également des abricots qui ont donnent ce côté aigret. Note citrique aigre-douce qui jongle en bouche pour un pétillant assez perspicace. Le tout couvre le gorge et descend jusque dans l’estomac. Bière dont l’aigreur n’est pas pour tut le monde, et pourra en rebuter certains.
