Gordash “Holy Mackerel” Golden Ale
This is a little package I picked up down at Sam’s Blue Light the other day, from a brewery that I’m not familiar with. However, I’ve had a lot of good experiences with beers that have fish on the label, so I was bound to pick it up.
The pour of this beer is a mildly unfiltered golden color with tiny little bubbles giving it a nice effervescence. The aroma is of tart yeast and some lightly sweet malt. In the mouth, this one is syrupy sweet through the mouth with just the slightest hint of hop around the middle of the tongue. Honestly, this is a rather simple brew. It’s fairly tasty, and doesn’t offer too many facets through the mouth – rather, it’s rich and sweet and honestly has a lot of cider characteristics about it. It even tastes a bit apple-y, which may be an accomplishment in its own right, considering there isn’t any apple involved. So. . . there isn’t a whole lot else to say about this beer. It IS tasty if you’re into ciders and very direct flavors in your beer. However, I can’t say that it’s bringing enough to the table to make me pay $7 for another 4-pack of this. They DO recommend cellaring on the label, which might help, although this really doesn’t strike me as a typically cellarable beer. Oh well – have any of you had this? What do you think?
