"Can you bottle a season?" asks the 473mL can of Golden Beach Pale Ale.
The answer, as expressed in the next sentence, is "Probably not, it's
far too big." Still, the folks at Sawdust City Brewing Co. have but
together a fair effort at the impossible with their sunny, hazy, and
bubbly golden brew. This American pale ale, born in Gravenhust, Ontario,
contains a very modest 4.5% and just 25 IBUs. It pours with a loose and
fluffy white head and exudes an aroma that is both fruity and hoppy.
Light and crisp, there are lots of tropical notes as well as some hops
pop, and a short, dry finish.
A cheery and mellow
ale, Golden Beach is pleasant and sessionable. However, even for an APA,
it's a little too thin and short on flavour. A beer with potential, but
limited follow through.
Rating: 6.5 out of 10.
