Description:
A strong golden ale brewed in the Belgian tradition. Dry yet flavorful - complex yet refreshing. Handcrafted in small batches using the finest all natural ingredients. Finest all natural Pilsner malt, Saaz Hops and Belgian Trappist yeast combine to create a fresh, Florida brewed version of a popular beer style with craft beer aficionados.
Unfiltered, unpasteurized and with just a hint of spice this beer is meant to be savored slowly so as to enjoy the aroma as well as the taste. Vintage dated, excellent now but even finer with 2 years age.
Pairs well with cheddar cheese, chicken or seafood. (Description provided by company)

Comments
Holy Mackerel's Special Golden Ale is worth a try
Holy Mackerel went into the glass a slightly hazy orange with no head. I smell light fruits and some kind of astringent. The taste is a rush of light fruits and Belgian yeast, but the taste then quickly fades to a dry finish. This special golden ale feels medium bodied and smooth. Good, not great.
