# Golden-Hued American Pilsners The 'King's Gold' Beer is a Celebration Of Regal All-American Brews By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2022-03-16 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/american-pilsner References: [brewbound](https://www.brewbound.com/news/iron-hill-brewery-releases-kings-gold) & [ironhillbrewery](https://www.ironhillbrewery.com/)  Iron Hill Brewery, one of the great stories of American craft beer success thanks to its collection of restaurants in 20 different locations as well as a quarter century's worth of awards at beer competitions across the United States and around the world, has launched a truly all-American brew in the form of King's Gold, a delicious American pilsner. This particular brew features suitably regal can art with visual elements including a lion wearing a crown, with the animal's mane serving as a visual depiction of the distinctive golden hue of any great American pilsner. With a bold infusion of hops balanced out by a smooth maltiness, this particular American pilsner is a beer that can be enjoyed in a diverse array of situations, although it is particularly well suited to being enjoyed with bold and decadent meals as a refreshing sipper.
