Triple Point Gold

Tap to rate

A golden ale that has been on the bar since the brewery's opening night and remains one of its six core beers. Honeyed malts meet citrussy Cascade and fruity Amarillo, supported by Admiral and Aurora, and end in a quenching, balanced bitterness; the impression is light and bright. It is fermented with the house ale yeast and fined rather than filtered, so it pours clear. At 4% it is poured from the tank in the taproom.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with honeyed malt sweetness, layered beneath with citrus notes from Cascade hops and subtle stone fruit from Amarillo. Supporting bittering hops add herbal undertones without dominance. The house ale yeast contributes a clean fermentation character, allowing the malt and hop aromatics to remain in the foreground.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and approachable, with sweet malt building gently across the mid-palate before the Cascade and Amarillo hops introduce bright citrus and fruit notes. Admiral and Aurora provide restrained bitterness that balances rather than dominates, finishing with a dry, quenching character. At 4% ABV, the beer drinks light without sacrificing flavour complexity.
