3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
7/9/08 From the bottle. Aroma is bit different, and seems like a blend on noble and PNW hops balanced by bready malt. Appearance is clear yellow with a fairly well maintained white head. Flavor is sweet malt forward, with very slight sour breadiness. Hops are again hints of both PNW and noble hops, with medium bittering that evenly balances the malt. mouthfeel is low bodied with a medium carb texture. Overall, not bad, but not excellent. May need to be a bit stronger flavored in some areas. Still, a quite easy drinking pale ale.

12 oz bottle. Pours a clear yellow gold with a frothy white head that retains well and leaves some lacing.

The flavor is sweet and biscuity malts with a mild citrus hop finish. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with some semi-sharp carbonation.
Overall, a decent mild pale / golden ale.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Sample at Alan’s HSC initation. This beer pours a clear golden color with a thin white head that fizzes away quickly. Lightl bready malt and hops in the nose. Light-bodied with flavors of sweet malt and honey, plus some mild hops and spice. The finish is sweet with notes of malt and citrus, and the aftertaste is mildly spiced hops. Overall, the name is misleading on this beer considering the style. Fairly average for what it is.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Lemony citrus nose. Pure gold color, smallish head. Burned lemon honey sweetness, piney hop bitterness for balance. Light to medium body, good carbonation, sweet finish that is somewhat clean. This is a really nice session beer, not too simple, not too overwhelming. This is a good one.
