Draught at the brewpub. Cloudy yellow. Aroma of apricot and avocado(!?). Sweet with light body and clean mouthfeel. Notes of syrup before a lightly spicy finish.

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.

Draught at the brewpub
Hazy blond color; small creamy head. Light malt aroma and flavor; it’s also a bit buttery (diacetyl); light fruitiness and average bitterness.
It’s a simple Ale with minor flaws.

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.

Cloudy pale yellow beer. Sweet bready pale malt, light lemon and a bit of honey. Flavour is light, but pleasant. Sweet lemon mixed with bready yeast and some honeyish sweetness. Soft spiciness in the middle of palate. Pretty tasty lighter brew.

Draught at the pub in Bellingham
Hazy yellow with no head and light lacing. Nose of husky malt and light citrus and acidity and hopping to match the malt sweetness, which is higher than usual in this blonde ale. The finish is dry, a bit starchy but unique; drinkable.

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.

Draft at the Green Lake Bar & Grill. Bright white head that hung around for a minute, light amber/yellow highlight body. Light--very light--grass on the nose, not much else going on there. A little bit sweet on the attack, then some mild pale malt flavor, very little hop in the finish. A bit sticky and cloying for a medium-bodied, medium-carb beer. Mostly it’s a well-made, drinkable, forgettable beer. Like they tell the aspiring con man in Ocean’s Eleven--"he has to like you, then forget you right away."

Had on tap at the brewpub in Bellingham - has a cloudy, light golden appearance - not much of an aroma. Pleasant tasting and refreshing with some light hoppiness - good way to start off a sampler tray.

Tap - Eastside Club, Oly
Hazy golden color with a thin head. Crips to the outhfeel with a good light malt. semi hoppy. Good dry finish was a easy drinking beer.
