Oct 3, 2008 I’ve heard a lot about Brooklyn Brewery’s offerings, so I bought a few singles today; this was my first I tried. Pours a clear, medium gold with slight head. Aroma is bready with some definite citrus notes thrown in there. Taste is bready with some citrus up front with a surprising amount of hops towards the back for a Golden Ale, though the flavor is quite nice. Mouthfeel is a little thin, but this is a tasty, extremely drinkable beer.

Sep 29, 2008 12 oz bottle at 515 in Santa Cruz. Poured into a pilsener glass. Clear gold with a modest white froth that leaves some scattered lacing. Aromas of fresh bread, grass, and light citrus. Flavor is doughy and biscuity with a soft Cascade tartness. Just a touch of bitterness. Great balance, full-flavored while maintaining lightness. Mouthfeel is smooth and crisp with a clean finish. Ridiculously easy to drink. A great thirst-quencher, one of the best summer ales there is.

Sep 16, 2008 From bottle. Very mild pilsner-pale malt aroma, light sweetness, with some muted beany hop character. Dark golden clear with some chill haze, topped with a white foamy lacing head. Medium watery body with high carbonation. Starts with a bit of malt sweetness, light rice and some oxidation. Otherwise, fairly clean throughout and refreshing, ending with some mild hop bitterness and a touch of sweetness. After is clean. Nice summer quaff.

Sep 9, 2008 12oz bottle. Nice golden color with good carbonation. Aroma is very simple some citrus but much faded since I bought it fresh a month ago. Pretty full for a summer ale but none the less refreshing on a warmer day. Bit of hop, but then again there was more when I had it last. Not Brooklyn’s best offering but a solid summer brew when fresher.

Aug 29, 2008 Its a little too hoppy for a blonde, a little too light to be a PA. The result is a drinkable compromise that isn’t particularly good.
