very light colored yellow, no visable head. very long and lingering, but light, hop finish. very refreshing. reminds me of a crsip German lager, except this is an English ale. Worth trying again.

Pours clear orange-gold with quickly disappearing head. This smells fresh and sweetly fruity with a delicate flowery hop aroma, very nice. The taste is surprisingly sweet--definitely diacetyl/butterscotch, which I don’t mind so much although it’s a bit strong. Hop presence is forward, obvious. This beer seems precariously balanced...a little too much of everything resulting in a beer that doesn’t quite reach harmony, although it’s certainly drinkable.

12 oz bottle. Poured a yellowy shade of amber with barely any lacing. Aroma is present, an earthy, toasty, hop aroma. Taste is watery with a bittery hop flavor. Aroma is the best part, otherwise nothing worth drinking.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a brilliant clear fold with a moderate white head that lasted through the entire glass. Pleasant fruity aroma. A hint of malt in the flavor, but this one is about the hops, which adds a nice fruity flavor along with some bitterness. Very easy to drink and enjoyable to the end.

Bottle. Boy this one is hard to describe. A very complex beer. Aromas of hops and grapefruits. Flavors are very complex. There is malts, a hoppy bitterness, a definite hint of caramel as well as apples. So maybe caramelized apples would come close. The finish then is predominantly bitter. This is a good beer, but hard to put in a category.

Pale golden color - slightly hazy. Aroma is citrus/lemon. Flavor is moderately sweet with some hop notes throughout. Finish is a bit sour.

UPDATED: JUL 4, 2006 Pours gold with quarter inch head. Aroma is full of hops. Taste is bitter all the way through. Strong hops is the only flavor I can discern. Not my favorite type of beer.

Clear pale yellow with a foamy white head. Notes of malt, hops, and honey. Medium body but watery feel. Slightly sweet flavor but very underwhelming.

Bottle at Beer on the Pier, Chicago brought by Shelton Bros. Buttery aroma with could mean good, could mean bad. Small, white head. Excellent lace. Dry. Has some bitterness. Similar in mouthfeel to Pilsner Urquell, but of course, just not as good.

A golden ale? Has some caramel in the nose but faintly. A little hoppy but quite a bit of malt. Also a little bit of caramel in the flavor. Pretty good.
