3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
(Draft) Sampled at GCBF 2009 in Victoria on September 9, 2009. I found this very light in aroma while is has a wheaty flavour. Just seemed too thin. 6/3/6/4/12
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Straw yellow with white head and good lacing. Smells of sub acid fruit and subtle floral hops. Taste is sweet grass initially, then apple, followed by fresh lightly malted grain and a crisp but restrained bitter finish. An excellent kolsch reminiscent of those I tried recently in Germany.
3.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Small head, sparkling. golden color, sweet aroma. Very dry finish great for a hot summer day.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bronze-colored with crisp silken head and plentiful upward carbonation. Light pilsner malt body. Flavor is a mix of German hops, pilsner malt with a dry, bitterish finish. Silky body. Pretty lackluster. Eh.
3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Lightly sweet aroma. Pours bright light golden with a thin head. Moderately sweet light malts, a hint of fruity notes, and a clean dry finish. Not complex, but again well made and insanely drinkable. I wish I could go on about this one how Tom went on about the Golden Ale, but instead I will tell a quick story. I was hella drunk at this point after drinking pretty much all day. My girlfriend was being a poon and my friend Killa Steve and I went to Ricks after I finished this beer thinking it would be a great idea. Apparently Ricks is ran by the mafia and used to be a whorehouse... some of the strippers were in their forties... it is not a whorehouse anymore.
4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
This pleasant offering rides the rail between ales and lagers. Clean, with a malt dominance that showcases the quality grains that Will Kemper uses in all his beers. Refreshing, dry finish, but enough body and substance to be more than a lawnmower beer. Light hint of fruity esters adds to character.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Gold, lasting white head. Sweet beery nose. Pleasant light sweet start, nice crisp hop finish
This and the Golden Ale are their best so far
