Gold Back
Brisk malt undercurrents carry a resonant glow of tangerine, guava and pine in this West Coast pilsner at 6% ABV, which drifts in with polished clarity. Gold Back is lagered with precision, then layered with Chinook, Simcoe Cryo and a pop of Simcoe Quantum, tipping into summer heat, and one sip leaves you looking for the next ripple.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Gold Back
Serve well-chilled at 4–6°C for maximum crispness. A pilsner served too warm loses its defining snap.
The tall, narrow pilsner glass preserves carbonation and showcases the golden clarity that defines the style.
Drink fresh and cold. Pilsners do not improve with age — within 3 months of packaging is ideal.
