#34 - Black Paw Brewery - Paw's Gold

There are some beers that encourage the reviewer to wax lyrical, employing their finest rhetorical gifts in the composition of epic poems in their honor.  This beer is not one of them.  Paw's Gold has some pleasant wheaty notes with a delicate floral aroma - and not a lot else.  It has a tendency to be fairly flat and this doesn't help what should be a very light and refreshing beer.  At 4.0% it is very drinkable for an extended period of time, which is a definite point in its favor.  Other reviewers have detected a lemony, citrussy flavor, but I found this lacking.  Perhaps the keg I sampled was not a perfect batch, but based on the sampling the conclusion is fairly clear - pleasant but decidedly mediocre.  6/10.
