3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Hazy straw colour. The aroma is strawlike with a hint of citric hop. Light lemony/tangerine flavour with hints of fresh crunchy pale malt and light bitterness. Off-dry finish. Typical of Washington State golden ales - an actual gateway beer instead of a macro clone.

Poured a hazy yellow with white head. Aroma is grain. Taste is nice fresh grain that is very refreshing with nice soft hop finish.
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
On tap at the brewery. Cloudy pale yellow with a thin white head. Light vegetable aroma. Thin body but decent mouthfeel. Taste a little like carrots. Not bad for a light ale.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Sample at the brewpub in Bellingham. A bright golden in the glass with thin white head. Aroma is crisp with decent hops. Taste is surprisingly satisfying. There is depth here to the palate, good hop bite, fresh, larger taste than I expected. All in all a great Vienna style lager.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Hazy blonde with flimsy head. Faintly hopped nose with some malt twingling. Fresh, clean graininess in the body and crisp hop flavor. Medium-bodied with a citrusy twang. A nice blonde.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
A: Poured at Boundary Bay brewpub. Head was small and white, but left at least fair lacing on the glass. Body is quite hazy and a dark yellow/orange color.
S: Aroma is a little weak, but average malts come through in the form of a bread smell, as well as light hops for a nice balance.
T: Malty breadiness, and some buttery diacetyl as well, with a lightly hoppy finish. Not a blow-out Blonde, but still pretty tasty overall, and smooth.
M: Medium-bodied and creamy, with average carbonation.
D: Extremely easy to drink, a Blonde with some Pacific Northwest character. Hard to be really outstanding in this category, but I think Boundary Bay has done a pretty good job with this one.

Draft @ the brewpub. Pours a hazy yellow color with a small white head. Has a fruity malty aroma with some hoppy hints. Has a fruity malty flavor with some hoppy hints. Has a sweetish malty finish with some hoppy hints in the aftertaste.

Pours light gold with no head. A little light grainy sweetness in the nose and flavor. Light hop finish is crisp. Nice first beer after a 5 mile hike.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pale yellow, with some haziness from being served too cold. Little to no head, with a bready malt background, pleasant, with some light hop notes. Entry level beer, could be improved and be quite sessionable.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours hazy light gold with a scant white head. Soft fruit and toffee nose. Medium body and light carbonation. Lightly sweet taste of candy and citrus. Crisp finish with just a dash of spice. This is girlfriend beer.
