Formerly Terrapin Cream Ale.
Available in Georgia only!
Terrapin Beer Company was started by two guys who love big, bold beers. We are known for using a ton of flavorful ingredients and for pushing the envelope with the brews we create.
We have also been known to take pleasure in hiking, biking, kayaking, and just plain having fun in the great outdoors. When we get hot and sweaty even hopheads like us want nothing more than to enjoy a beer that is crisp and refreshing.
Which is why we created the perfect session beer-the Terrapin Golden Ale.

Appearance: Clear brilliant pale gold. Fluffy white head with moderate retention.
Aroma: Grassy/Herbal with hints of citrus fruit.
Flavor: Spicy and floral. Grainy malt. Moderate sweetness. Restrained bitterness
Mouthfeel: Drying. Moderate length finish. Clean finish.
Overall: It pours clean and clear with a pale golden tint. It develops a nice thick white head with big bubbles that dissipate in about a minute. Mt. Hood and Cascade hops combine to give it nice mild, grassy and citrus aromas. The Cascade provides noticeable, yet restrained bitterness which allows a grainy malt taste to come through. Just enough sweetness to pair well with the hops and allow for a crisp, clean medium dry finish. Nice refreshing cream ale.

Pale gold appearance with a small white head and scant lacing. Grassy, slightly vegetal aroma. Grainy, corny, moderately sweet malt taste. Subtle floral hop presence with a touch of spice in the aftertaste. Smooth, light bodied mouthfeel with good carbonation. Finish is short lived.

From the 12 oz can in a snifter. This solid little ale pours a nice clear
golden color with a nice head of white foam that settles to a thick
ring, thin wafting film, and shows subtle lacing. Nose of grain and
grassy herbal hops with a touch of breaded malts. Flavors follow the
nose with a smooth breaded malt given a subtle citrus zest of lemon and
grassy herbal hops with light honey malt touches. Decent mouth feel;
medium light body, medium light carbonation is lively and effervescent,
and a crisp lightly dry finish.
Overall a solid little brew for mowing the lawn.
Cheers

Really smooth ale. Not bitter at all. Just a slight bite at the back end.

Pours up to an above average head for the style thst laces well and hangs on at a steady one centimeter. Brilliant gold. Aroma is clean, biscuity and grassy. Flavor is an all malt lager or blonde ale: crisp, slightly sweet pale malts delicately balanced with soft, noble hops. Mouthfeel is nominal. A good blonde ale so slick and clean they could call it a lager.
