What the brewers say

“For those who prefer a little more hop presence.”

What our panel thought

“Great clarity, fluffy white head. A touch of bready yeast on the nose; fresh hops, floral and herbal, a bit of sulfur. Firm, pleasantly bitter backbone, moderately grainy with an herbal, slightly spicy hop profile. Mild carbonation, light malt body. Well balanced. The dry, bitter, refreshing finish lingers.”

What our editors thought

“Hearty and Noble in the nose, with a light, grassy, herbal hop note. Heftier but cool-toned in the sip, herbal and smooth, with a substantial body that makes it cozy.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Goldfinger Brewing Company Original Lager

“Slightly floral and tropical aroma. Doughy, bready—very classic German. Touch of herbal hops with a light peppery spice note. Well-balanced clean bitterness tamps down the light malt sweetness, as both linger through to an off dry finish. Leans a little sweet but it’s a nice, drinkable beer.”

Goldfinger Brewing Company Zlotonator Doppelbock

“Dried fruit, leather. Toffee and stewed fruits with a spicy hop character that binds it together. Slightly boozy, with a nice warming effect. Some tea-like astringency on the finish. Complex and interesting throughout.”

Component Brewing Co Pierogi Pils

Malt forward nose, like freshly-milled Vienna malt, carries on through to the flavor with honey, cereal, and bread crust. Moderately high earthy hop notes define the aroma. Hop bitterness leans toward the low end, but not in a bad way. The flavor has a slightly biscuity malt backbone supporting an interesting herbal and earthy hop character with some spicy white pepper notes. Hints of peppery, floral hops. Excellent clarity and a big fluffy bright white head. Enjoyable.
