4 month old can A: Clearish dull gold color with a short dark beige head that fell quickly to a ring. S: Creamy coffee, milk chocolate and nondescript beer. Maybe some herbal hops. T: Follows the nose. Sweet creamy coffee with generic beer notes including faint pine and herbs. Vanilla and lactose dominate near the end. M: Soft low carbonation, light body, creamy slick mouthfeel. O: OK but nothing stands out. Will try it again fresher.

Draft at Catawba Morganton. Pours a cloudy deep gold with ruby highlights. Notes of cherry and tart passionfruit on the nose. Flavors get a bit muddled on the palate. Tropical fruit and grain on the finish.

Draft at Catawba Morganton. Pours a deep brown to black with a finger of beige head that dissipates. Lovely maple notes with coffee and dark chocolate as it warms. Palate is similar with creamy chocolate, coffee, vanilla and more maple. Finishes with a lingering maple and coffee note. Very good.

There are a couple of farmer ted's from catawba. First I thought this was cream ale but fer sher the label says golden ale. Its nearly clear pale yellow, just a slight haze from a can that I got at total wine. Plain old beer smell, nothing offensive, just clean and clear fresh beer, almost neutral on the olfactory. I'm surprised about the alky content on this one, its pretty high for a goldie. Initial taste is ale like but it has some effects of hay and smoothness that reminds me of a good straub lager. Decent, and somewhat refreshing, no lie. Yes, it comes across as a good lawnmower beer but be careful, this stuff packs an otherwise ABV that most session lawnmower beers lack. You may make some crazy paths thru your yard after you had a few of these. I tell you what, this stuff is better than the average ale. There, you have it.
