Clipper City Gold Ale
Style: ale
Alc./Vol.: 4.9%
Rating: 3.2/5.0
While down in Maryland over the weekend, I picked up a 6 pack of Clipper City Gold Ale. It’s a local brew brewed in Baltimore so I felt compelled to give it a try. The beer is clear, light gold in color with a small white head, and has a fresh, mild hop aroma. There’s low carbonation here and the body is light, but not watery. Definitely the type of beer you could have a few of without feeling gross. Flavor was a bit fruity – apples and apricots perhaps. The hops gave the ale a little kick, but were by no means a dominating characteristic. The finale had a pleasant lingering bitterness. Great summer beer with some personality.
