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 @ What the Funk, October 2014, Denver. Pours a hazy orange appearance with an off white head. Plenty of cheese, lacto, yogurt, and funk. I got a hint of metal but the beer was otherwise nice. Moderately sour. Funk, cobweb, and basement notes. Kind of chill. Maybe a partial blend of what what used in Colorambic?

Bottle @ What the Funk, October 2014, Denver. Pours a somewhat cloudy orange appearance with a cream colored head. A little bit of wood and leather but otherwise, a delicious tart cherry flavor. Nice wild cherry taste. Moderately tart and a bit funky. Chill brew.

Bottle @ What the Funk, October 2014, Denver. Pours a somewhat cloudy yellow orange appearance with a thin white head. Obviously, tons of peach and apricot notes along with some yogurt, lacto, cheese, and lots of funk. Moderately sour. Not too sweet. Pretty tasty but I’d take normal Colorambic over this. Great beer nonetheless.

Draft at Coors. Amber color. Aroma of grains and some hop bitterness. By no means a great craft beer but refreshing, with some flavor and drinkable enough. Thin lacing head.

Bottle @ Doodler. Thanks to Scott and Troy! Milky/cloudy pink appearance when a thin head. Bright tart cherries, fairly funky, somewhat spicy aroma. Moderately high tartness. Super juicy. Herbal / grassy / wild cherry flavor. Awesome.

Batch 1 bottle thanks to Tom. Pours a cloudy yellow orange with small off white head. The aroma is strong apricot, oak, brett, yeast. Sour as hell, like an apricot warhead. Yes
