On tap at the Ale House in Grand Junction. Pours a clear golden color with a medium white head. The aroma is sweet hops. The taste is more of a balance between a full fruity hop and lots of rich malts. Sort of easygoing and nice.

Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival. Cleargolden, minimal head. Lemony nose. Sweetish with clean, hard mouthfeel. Lemony hops lead up to slight resiny finish. A pale ale on the simple side.

Shaker pint pour at the brewpub in Breckenridge. Pour is cloudy hazy orange amber with a small white head. Very fine carbonation streaking to the top. Fair amount of lacing. Nice looking. Aroma of floral hops, slight resin, biscuit toasty malt behind that. Nice, but a little too faint. Taste is the floral hops initially, some dirty resin bitterness near the back, also the biscuit malt holding it together. Orange citrus mild sweetness comes out as it warms. Nice balance. Palate is medium, low carbonation, prickly bitterness. This was nicely drinkable.

malty nose leads to well balanced flavor with enough hops for the style and maybe even then some. i could almost do without the soft malty palate but balance is deserving of its own accolades within this style.

Pours hazy golden brown with a small white head. Aroma is light, citrusy hops and a little bit of lemongrass. Flavor is fairly light as well with a little pale malt flavor as well as a bitter finish to go with the slightly citrusy hop flavor. OK.

12oz bottle. Filtered golden-orange color, small fluffy head. Mildly sweet hop aroma. Middle of the road hoppiness with a sweet malt backbone. Has some decent tastes up front, but finishes quite watery. Hyper-sessionable, but lacks much complexity. Not bad, but not so memorable either.

Not bad....hoppy aroma, with some hints of pine and resin. Flavor was similar to aroma, with some malty backbone. Nothing really stood out, but there was nothing terrible about it.

Pours a cloudy, very dark golden/yellow/orange color, smells of hops and grains. The hops are very prominate, not much head, nice on the palate, bitter hop aftertaste

A golden ale with ahtin lacing white head. A light malty aroma with restrained hops. In mouth, a nice crisp ale with nice light c-hops. A good starter for the sampler rack! Medium bodied. On tap at Ballpark brewpub 24 Jan. 2009.

Very hazy blonde ale with a slight head and not much lace. Plenty of grassy hops in the aroma. Plenty of lemony citrus in the flavor, sort of a weird sweetness. Overall nicely bitter. It’s pretty good.
