Gold School
Trophy Brewing

 

A: Pours a murky medium to dark golden yellow in color with moderate amounts of active visible carbonation rising along the edges of the glass and moderate honey + apricot colored highlights. The beer has a three finger tall dense sudsy foamy very light beige head that slowly reduces to a few small patches of medium thick film surrounded by a large patch of thin film covering the remainder of the surface of the beer and a medium thick ring at the edges of the glass. Significant amounts of lacing are observed.

S: Slightly stronger than moderate aromas of juicy tropical/pineapple, tropical/mango, and citrus/grapefruit hops over the top of light to moderate aromas of bready + biscuit malts with a light amount of honey-like sweetness.

T: Upfront there are just shy of moderate flavors of bready + biscuit malts with a light amount of honey-like sweetness. That is followed by moderate to strong flavors of juicy tropical/pineapple, tropical/mango, and citrus/grapefruit hops which impart a light amount of bitterness which lingers for a short amount of time then fades away leaving a lingering juicy hop flavor.

M: Medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Slightly smooth with a light amount of dryness in the finish.

O: Easy to drink and refreshing with well hidden alcohol. Enjoyable with a nice combination of hop flavors + aromas. Definitely one I would have again.
