Golden Goat
Upright Brewing Company

On tap at Arch Bridge. The beer pours a striking golden amber color with good head retention and lacing. The nose is attractive as well, with honey, light clove, some light vanilla, and then some underlying spice flavors. I didn't pick up much of the lime that Dyan and the AB bartender mentioned, but there did seem to be some light citrus and anise, with a slight herbaceous quality as well. The flavor profile replicates the nose, though I appreciated how light and easy to drink this beer seemed to be. The spice flavor seemed to keep the modest sweetness in check very well, and the finish was clean and fairly dry. Drinkability was excellent in this low abv., easy to appreciate beer.

While nothing extraordinary, I thought this another enjoyable effort from the folks at Upright.

 

A clear golden yellow with a dense, white head with excellent retention and lacing, this looks stunning. The nose is excellent. Bright , refreshing with a blend of honey, mint, lime, an intense fruitiness with grape, mangoosteen, a beautiful doughy malt, a spicy yeast. The palate opens with soft, doughy malt, honey, toasted grain, followed by the adjuncts on the mid palate. Lime and some mint are present. Drying on the palate, crispy carbonated, a lingering bitterness. Wonderful.
