Dry harvest wheat informs sourdough mouthfeel and unobtrusive barleymalts, combining for subtle even flow. Elegantly smooth dry-roasted oats soften nutty backdrop. Great for softer palates, but docile nature will put off experienced drinkers.

BARLEY CREEK NAVIGATOR GOLDEN ALE
DERGY’S GOLDEN ALE
Rhapsodic medium-bodied golden delight picks up caramel essence and doughy sinew by tobacco-tinged barley-oats finish, curiously blending red ale-like malted grain sweetness with IPA hop spicing along the way. Brewed under Williamsville Brewing handle ‘Golden Lager’ thereafter. Brewery defunct: 2006.
(JOLLY PUMPKIN) ORO DE CALABAZA ARTISAN GOLDEN ALE
Listen closely for fizzy snap, crackle, and pop of this swooning golden-hazed medicinal-candied treat. Then, relish its cognac midst, tart lemony twist, and spicy coriander-clove dalliance. Musty yeast-protruded alcohol-licked finish drops off as cork-y orange seltzer dryness amplifies oaken lactose musk.
ROCK ART WHITETAIL GOLDEN ALE
Translucent straw-bodied, fluffy white-headed mediocrity mired by solvent-like phenol soapiness. Bread-y yeast souring creates buttered popcorn illusion underlining honeyed cereal sweetness, toasted barley-wheat dryness, cocoa-mocha dirge, and mild grassy-herbal hop surge, becoming gently astringent as dismal lemony acidity heightens.

(ROCKIES) BUFFALO GOLD PREMIUM ALE
Perhaps closer to a mild sourdough-breaded lager, this swanky mineral-grained premium sells like crazy in serene Colorado foothills despite barren flavor profile. Sugar-malted corn syrup slurp and almond-toasted Challah breading overlaid by sharp lemon hop bitterness of sessionable working class ale.
