Butte Creek Gold Ale
Butte Creek Brewing Company

 

Flavor is light - some soft husk and dry hay flavors lurk in the malt. Goes a bit sweet toward the end, with some buttery notes that are out of character for the beer. I kept feeling as though the beer needed to sharpen up, as it is too muted to really be enjoyable. A better-quality no brainer.

A splendid transpicuous gold color on the pour, modest white and frothy head with the lace a concealing sheet. Nose is fresh like a slice of lemon, sweet malt, pleasing as noses go, front is nice sweet malt with the top fair to middling in feel. Finish is a bit austere in its acidity, hops are pertinent to the style and the aftertaste dry, a nice “lawnmower beer”.

A clear golden body is topped by a short head of bright white foam that holds well and leaves some nice lace. The aroma is lightly grainy with a straw-like, earthy character that's a bit odd, but not off-putting. The body is light/medium with a fine carbonation; giving it a soft and smooth mouthfeel. The flavor mirrors the aroma with a grainy, hay-like malt and some grassy hops. It's well-balanced and finish is dry with a gently lingering maltiness that erodes to leaves a dull bitterness.Very nice. A light, golden ale that has enough hop character to keep it refreshing and give it some drinkability.

Poured a gold color with hardly no head to speak of and a very thin body.Smell was nice and juicy with some malt accent to it as well.Taste was mildly bitter with some pear in there as well.decent but a little thinner than what had expected,I was thinking it would have a little more body to it.
