Garrison Brewing Company Star Trek 50th Anniversary Golden Ale Golden Ale at 5% ABV (C$2.35 at NLC Stavanger, 341 ml, no bottle date or best before, acquired 19-Jun-2016, reviewed 22-Jun-2016)
Appearance: clear pale gold with one finger of loose white head diminishing gradually to a thin skim, no lacing. (3/5) Aroma: burnt rubber, pale malt, weedy and grassy. (3/10) Taste: moderate sweet, mild bitter. (3/10) Medium-light body, moderate carbonation, off-dry finish. (3/5)
Complete shit – even the labels are crap. Basically a macro lager, except as an ale, and with an added frisson of burnt rubber. This is a horrible homage to pretty much my favourite franchise of all time, and it hurts me deep in my nerdy, geeky soul: even their Klingon Warnog Roggen would have been about a million times more appropriate. Don’t waste your time. Seriously. (7/20)
