Squatters Chasing Tail Golden Ale
A best-of-breed English Style Summer Ale, this tail-wagger’s already fetched a real name for itself in competition. Our premium barley rolls over with domestic and imported Golding hops for a delicate bitterness and cold, wet nose.

Chasing Tail has a thick, off-white, creamy head, a hazy, golden appearance, with ascending bubbles and low-level lacing left behind. The aroma is of pungent sourdough, a full, sweet nose of malt, and a touch of citrus. Taste is of those elements, with a mild hop bitterness and a shade of citrus. Mouthfeel is soft and medium, and Chasing Tail finishes dry and highly drinkable. RJT
On tap at Squatters airport location. Pours a clear gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges and laces. Aroma has notes of earthy flora and straw with a grain backbone. Flavor has straw and sweet grain with a slight corn note supporting.
bottle, a bit on the grainy side. This one is nice and great, extra points i want working outside all day in Arizona doing Man Shit, and needed a light and refreshing beer. This one hit the spot perfectly.
Draft at the Squatters SLC airport. Pours clear bright gold with a fizzy off white head. Tastes like corn, straw, grassy hops, and bready malt. Light body and low/medium carbonation. Smells like grassy and citrus hops, corn, straw, and bready malt.
On tap @ Wasatch Sugarhouse. Clear golden colored beer with white foam. A lot of grassy and sort of chalky bitterness. There’s some bread and frosted flakes sweetness to it as well. Very light hop character. Ok.
Bottle. Golden beer with a whitish head. Malt and light bready aroma. Light malt and light lemon flavor. Medium bodied. Refreshing. Light malt and light breadiness lingers with light lemon.
Pour as a sample at salt lake city airport. Golden color with a thin clingy head. Aroma is almost non existent. Sweet maybe malty? Well balanced malt to hop ratio but a little lackluster. Though, this is what i’ve come to expect from golden ales. Seems true to the style. Easy drinking sweet non bitter malt light beer. Love it.
Light sweetness. Not much head. More flavor than the porter actually. Sweet no off just a good easy drinking beer.
Clear gold pour with a one finger, creamy off white head. Aroma is biscuit, butter, fruity hops and a little citrus. Flavor is cereal, toast, planty hops, raw nuts, mineral notes and a little citrus to the finish. Light body with a mineral crisp dryness throughout and a medium carbonation. Meh, OK for what it is.
Pours clear blond with small head, aromas are light not distinct, taste of roasted malts, solid golden ale much better than a major golden ale
"delicate bitterness" as stated by the brewer is translated here into boring, sissy beer. Funny name, boring beer. they make better, so you can skip this one."
bottle from whole foods park city. pours golden with no head. Doesn’t leave much lacing in glass. looks a bit like cooking oil. There’s a slight hop note on the tongue but otherwise nondescript. Boring interpretation of a shitty style.
This bottle is six months old so I'm not so sure it isn't skunked. My review on this one is inconclusive.
Bottle. Honey barley malt and herbal citrus peel aroma. Hazy golden yellow with small head. Honey and barley malt flavor. Watery palate. Okay.
Soft grassy, floral citrus and sweet cracker malt. Lighter orange color. Minor bitterness but mainly the smooth biscuit malt found in English blonds. Crisp and not as light as it seems at first. Nice session beer, not much else.
Pours clear, medium gold with a short, white head.
Barley malt, lemon, grain aroma.
Grassy, crisp, grain flavor.
Fairly mediocre.
I like it. Nice golden with a smooth golden taste. Nice fuggles. Easy drinking.
Bottle: Clear golden color with a bit of creamy white head. Good retention and ots of sticy lacing. Nose is mild with bicuit malt and grass. Lightly herbal. Tastes sweeter than the aroma would suggest and adds a crisper floral element. Nice amount of malty sweetness and it holds onto the florals without being overly sharp. Refreshing.
Pours a nice lightly hazy straw color with a small well retained head that leaves good lacing on the glass.
Aroma has a lot of raw grain, some maltiness… very mild leafy character, yeasty and in a way a touch metallic.
Flavor is mild, not bad though… it’s got a nice touch of leafy happiness…. some light but zippy enough bitterness, and a little bit of bright malty character. It’s more or less on the dry side of things, and I sure don’t mind it.
Really it’s pretty watery, it’s thin and not especially well served by the low carbonation… although there is a zippy sharpness to it that is the mouth feels saving grace.
Decidedly not something I’d go after again, although it’s enjoyable enough and not offensive in any way.
Clear pale golden with a fast dissipating head. The nose is kinda leafy floral, not as malty as I expect a blonde to be. The taste retains that floral hoppy leafy flavor, almost piney, with a mellow blonde cereal tone without going biscuity. Really blew my hair back how nuanced and prominent the hop quality was, and how flavorful for a 4% beer.
Bottle. Slightly hazy light orange pour with a small spotty head. Aroma is weakly stale hops, maybe a bit of cardboard. Watery palate. Taste is okay.
Clear yellow pour ..white head .. old fruit aroma..soma bananna.. taste is light bitter...boring
Aroma is bread and light citrus. The flavor is light citrus, fruit, biscuit malts and a lightly bitter finish. Due to the English malts and hops, it somewhat tasted like a bitter, otherwise it was a basic golden ale.
Slightly hoppy aroma. Mild but has a slight edge. For some reason I don’t like this a huge amount. I like subtle beers but this almost goes too far and feels watered down... But with a bit more hops.
Had this beer in a sampler at the brewery and it did not impress. Like most breweries, it is the weak beer for the non beer drinker and I get that, but I wish they were not part of the sampler. Very little distinguishable flavor characteristics and not very memorable.
Gold, clear, off white head. Grainy-sweet malt, some caramel, floral hops. Clean and easy drinking golden ale.
Single bottle given to me in Park City, Utah on 11/08/2012. Colour: Gold, like its name, with high but quick to vanish white head. Nose: some vanilla malt and fruit hops, a bit of summer grass. Taste: medium-light sweet, medium-light bitter, light sour. Very light. Dominant yeast taste and fleeting bitterness to finish. Notes of wheat. Just so plain.
Light caramel, bready, and sweet. A little bit of a floral flavor and aroma. Lawnmower beer for sure -- and a good one.
gold blond coloured body with a white head a spicy yeasty hoppy aroma a spicy yeasty hoppy herby taste with a spicy bitter finish
On tap at brewery. Clear golden with a fizzy white head. Faint malty aroma. Malty barley and cereal grain taste.
