kutellad99 (1), Bend, Oregon, USA does not count Nov 12, 2001 This is an excellent, well balanced beer. It represents the ’golden’ category very well. It may be hard to find now as it is only in central Oregon, but keep your eyes peeled as it moves towards Portland. beerguy101 (3468), Newark, California, USA Sep 20, 2002 Medium gold color, medium head. A medium bodied golden ale. Fairly malty and somewhat hoppy. Lots of flavor. Bit of a hop bite for a golden ale. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is crisp. Aftertaste is slightly bitter. A little bit over carbonated. DA (2376), Portland, Oregon City, Oregon, USA Apr 30, 2004 #554 on my beerwall. Ok beer, nice label though. Light golden color with very little head. Citrus tastes as well as a little hops here and there, mostly a malty taste comes through. Not much aroma. Hope the porter will be better. 11026 (1886), USA Apr 10, 2006 Bottle. Light amber colored, just barely more than golden, clear. Small white head that fades quickly and leaves no lacing to speak of. Aroma is a bit muted, some caramel, earthy hop? Medium to light bodied. Rather pleasant for the style I thought. Decent body, fair balance and a nice enough hop presence at the finish to make it interesting. AlabastorJones (622), Eugene, Oregon, USA Jan 31, 2005 Clear gold body with a nicely laced white head, hoppy aoma, sweet malty flavor with a nice dull hop finish, refreshing citrus notes in the finish, underated pale, but if i went to high school with the rooster on the label I would have really made fun of him and pushed him into his locker on the days that I would have worn my letterman jacket.
