Four Peaks Golden Lager
What the brewers say
“Two decades in the making, our Golden Lager is brewed with some of the world’s most celebrated lager yeast for an authentic, elegant flavor befitting the beer’s bright color. Grab a pint and drink deep; you just struck gold.”
What our panel thought
Aroma: “Slightly sweet, hint of toast, moderate earthy hops aroma. Mild malt suggests light caramel with toast. Subtle, but very inviting.”
Flavor: “Light spicy hops, soft bready malt. Low bitterness, but it builds a little in the finish. Spicy hops are quite nice, but the sweet balance is tasty but out of style.”
Overall: “Nice malt flavors and very drinkable but not particularly helles-like, especially with the sweet balance. It could use some more hops flavor and a touch more bitterness for balance, which is critical in a helles.”
