650ml bottle - the latest in their 'Student Craft Beer' series, this one courtesy of Will Roberts, of Stettler, Alberta. The Golden Goose is on the loose, and never out of season!
This beer pours a clear, medium golden yellow colour, with one flabby finger of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat bubbly dirty white head, which leaves some approaching thunderstorm profile lace around the glass as it quickly dissipates.
It smells of semi-sweet, bready and doughy cereal malt, a touch of buttery crackers (think normal Ritz), some faint pome fruitiness, and very tame earthy, leafy, and floral green hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy pale malt, stewed red apples, some musty white wine lees, and more understated leafy, herbal, and musky floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is quite reserved in its amateur frothiness, the body an adequate middleweight, and generally smooth, but for a minor sense of burgeoning alcohol ingress. It finishes trending dry, the weirdly masked hops working hard to stifle any lingering malt aspirations.
Overall - this comes across as an agreeable enough version of the broad style, with the extra 2 and a half points of ABV essentially well-integrated. However, the label's assertion of hops (yeah, just 'hops') falls kind of flat with this particular 'seasoned connoisseur'. Plain, but ultimately drinkable, I suppose.
