Beer of the Week: Guilford Golden Lager

Beer score: 4.1

Company: Natty Green's Brewing Co.

ABV: 3.8
IBU: NA

I was looking forward to this one because it's from a regional brewery in Greensboro, North Carolina, and I always like to try something new. Plus, I was in the mood for a brew that wasn't real heavy, and I had hoped this beer would suffice.

It didn't.

Sorry, but the smell assaulted me right off the bat with a skunkiness not unlike Old Milwaukee. The flavor has a light, bready quality, but that's all. Nothing special here, and the carbonation was a bit too much thought not overpowering.

Still, this was just one brew. Maybe I simply got a bad one. I'll give this brewery another shot at some point.
