3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
lushawn shared some of his glass at Armsby Abbey- thanks again, Shawn! Pours a clear gold color with a finger of white head that leaves heavy lace in the glass. The aroma is very mild; pale malts, bread, hay. More comes out in the flavor, like some subtle herbal, grassy hops, cracker, and even citrus. Light-bodied, with a dry, bready mouthfeel and moderate carbonation. Nice session ale.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
A bit of a bonus for the low alcohol. Decent taste at 3.75 but otherwise a grassy taste, and fizz. Good, but not memorable. Like the attempt though.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
22 oz. bottle. Pours a hazy amber with a thin linen white head that quickly dissipates and leaves very little lace. Mild aroma of citrus and malt. The flavor begins with mild malt, somewhat grainy, and is followed by some mild-moderate hops bitterness. Understated but very drinkable.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Malt, fruit, grass, and citrus in the aroma. Flavor starts sweet with some caramel. Fruity bittering hops in the finish. Good, tasty summer beer.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
22oz bottle from Crossroads Beer & Wine, Burlington, MA. stated ABV 3.9% Pours a hazy amber with a thin white head; light fruity aroma; citrusy flavours with a smooth grainy body and a crisp, peppery hop finish. Very drinkable.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
A light golden brew. Decent carbonation. The first few sips of this were kinda bland and boring. After a while this one develops nicely. Very smooth drinking, but with a good spice-hop aroma. Flavor is lightly bitter with a touch of sweetness. To me though, a session beer must come in 12 oz bottles and be drunk directly from the bottle.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Has the subtle citrus hop aroma of an American pale. Golden near-amber color, pretty good lacing. Mainly sweet grainyness, some bitter contrast. Low gravity feel that makes this incredibly drinkable, though not all that fulfilling. I would call this an extra light IPA.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
22 oz. bottle from Table and Vine for $5.99. Served in a lager glass. Clear pale color with frothy, white head with lots of retention. Nose is grassy hops and hay. Taste has malt up front with a pine / grassy hops flavor near the backend. Lightly bitter finish with pine or Earthy hop making the mouthfeel relatively dry. This is the most solid Golden Ale/Blond Ale I’ve sampled to date. Easy drinking and enjoyed much.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
very good session ale here, has moderate hops, a little bit of wheatyness in the mouthfeel, very tasty and well balanced, excellent drinker!
