This bottle label for Laurelwood's Mother Lode Golden Ale features two golden pick axes on both sides of a golden hop flower which resides over a bowl.The Golden Ale is the lightest ale offered by Laurelwood yet requires the most precision on the brewer's part. The efforts were proven as the Golden Ale won the Gold medal at the World Beer Cup in 2002, the Bronze medal at the Great American Beer Festival (GABF) in 2003, the Silver medal at the World Beer Cup in 2004 and the Bronze medal at GABF in 2012.
