Review: Holy Mackerel Special Golden Ale

Holy Mackerel Special Golden Ale from Gordash Brewing Company
Rating: C+

Purchased at the Whole Foods in Coral Springs, FL. Glad to be the 10th reviewer and gave this one a WR.

Appearance: surprisingly yellow in the glass with a small head and poor retention. Would benefit from either more color, or less - as is, not very attractive. Wheat malt to increase head retention?

Smell: As advertised, Belgian yeast aroma. Fruity with just a bit of spice.

Taste: Too sweet, candi flavor. Slight citrus.

Mouthfeel: least medium body - heavier than expected for the style, borderline syrupy. Carbonation on the light side.

Drinkability: Mediocre.

Serving type: bottle
