   Xtra Gold poured a hazy, golden yellow color with a finger width, white head.  The aroma is deep, with some light pale malt, hops, a yeastyness and some orange notes.  The body is bold; smooth, deep and full.  The is a light sweetness up front, and pale malts.  The hops are noticeable throughout but start to come alive in the middle and shine through on the finish.  The beer left a little hanging lace left on the glass.  Overall, this is a pretty darn good beer.  The nose is inviting, the body is smooth, the finish is really pleasant and the beer as a whole does a fine job of walking the line between deep and complex and a drinkable beer.     

The ultimate resource for beer drinkers!
