From a 64 oz. growler picked up at the brewery. Pours a golden yellowish amber in color. Starts out with a nice head that lingers. Tastes more like a lager than an ale. Sweet start, bitter malty finish. Not bad, but not great. I hope the others I brought home with me from this brewery are more memorable.

Tap at Northampton Brewing Company. Hazy pale golden beer with a creamy white head. Aroma is very faint, light pale malt, a bit of diacetyl as well. Dusty/wheaty aroma in back. Flavour is okay, but pretty standard. Light pale malt, a touch of breadiness. Meh… pretty boring really.

A golden ale with a thin white head. A rather strong aroma of boiled sweet vegetables, carrots, diacety notes. In mouth, a light honey malt, a bit of hops, very boring. On tap at Flat Street Brewpub, Brattleboro, August 2 2009.

Pale amber, rather weak-looking body saved by a lovely big creamy lasting head; nose grapefruity, simple, pleasant. Flavor something like the brewers describe it, crisp and dry; but there’s not a lot of hops and the body is watery. Prety mediocre on the whole.

Mild, sweet grainy aroma offers light citrus hops. Opaque milky-yellow coloured body with creamy, white, fine-bubbled head that recedes to partial cover and dots the glass with lace. Mild citrus hops over lightly grainy malts with light bitterness in the finish. Moderate carbonation to the medium-light body. Somewhat syrupy. Sampled at Mondial de la Bière 2005.
