Tap at ABC - listed as "golden ale" - clear gold pour - moderate lace - very mellow beer - crisp and light, with a lean malt base with low sweetness and a moderate grassy hop flavor - crisp and a little bit crackery - very clean, with no really apparent flaws - would be a great lawnmower beer - I like it.

Pour on tap at the brewery, golden pour, imagine that, with thin white head, aroma brought grainy biscuit, cracker malts, hints of slight grass with some cereal and straw like aromas, touch of spice. Taste is pretty straightforward, some slight spice and grass, biscuit and grainy notes, finishing fairly clean.

Listed as "Golden Ale"..Clear pale golden with a nose of stale hops and grainy pale malt. Taste was pale and light with dominating notes of pale golden cereal grains. Finished kinda yeasty and lightly hoppy. Meh.

On tap at Arvada Beer. Light. Little to no aroma. At least it doesn’t have corn flavor. Very plain. A hint of piney hoppiness on the back end. Ahhh, it wouldn’t be a bad option for the usual BMC drinker.

UPDATED: APR 17, 2012 Tap @ brewery. This was actually meant to be a golden lager but they didn’t have time to lager, so they ended up just being it with an ale yeast. This could be reclassified as a golden ale. Slightly hazy, golden appearance with a white head. Very light aroma with little going on besides some light pale malts and a touch grassy hops. Crisp, somewhat grainy, straw, pale malty, light flavor.

On tap at Arvada Beer poured a clear yellow with a lingering ring of white foam. Aromas of bread and light citrus. Palate was light bodied and crisp with a dry finish. Flavors of straw, bread and light citrus with a crisp dry finish.
