Sunday Night Suds - Samuel Adams Golden Goat

 

In honor of the Super Bowl, this week's Sunday Night Suds looks at Samuel Adams Golden Goat.

The Golden Goat is included in Samuel Adams Gameday Beers mix pack which includes two bottles of each of four styles. In addition to the Reunion IPA, the mix pack includes Boston Lager (reviewed here in 2013 - https://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2013/04/sunday-night-suds-samuel-adams-boston.html); Alpine Lager (reviewed here in 2021 - https://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2021/02/sunday-night-suds-samuel-adams-alpine.html) and Cold Snap (reviewed here  in 2014 - https://kosherbeers.blogspot.com/2014/06/sunday-night-suds-samuel-adams-cold-snap.html).

This beer is one which wont offend non beer drinkers, but also wont satisfy anyone looking for beer with character. There is some malt, but little in the way of hops, despite the fact that the Sam Adams website describes this beer as a "Golden Ale" (for my money this is more lager than anything else). The beer did pour a rich golden yellow with decent carbonation and some lacing. The beer claims to be 5% abv, but I did not detect any alcohol flavor.

This is a good pizza beer, but it did not stand up to Mrs. KB's Super Bowl supper.

The Golden Goat is under the Kosher Supervision of the Star-K and has a Star-K certification mark on the label. To see what the experts on Beer Advocate think about this brew, please follow this link - https://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/35/581903.

As always, please remember to drink responsibly and to never waste good beer unless there is no designated driver.
