On tap at Colorado Mountain. First off this is a blonde not an American Pale like AAron says. Poured a cloudy yellow with a lingering ring of white foam. Aromas of bread, diacytal and light citrus. Palate was light bodied and smooth withj a dry finish. Flavors of bread, diacytal and light citrus with a smooth dry lingering diacytal finish.

Tasted on tap at Colorado Mountain Brewery. Fairly translucent, light yellow appearance. Just a slight bit golden malts in the aroma. This is actually a blonde/golden ale. Light golden malty body and not lacking in body like some goldens.
