Feb 15, 2007 Poured a pale gold color with a dainty cap of head that took off in no time. The nose was of toasted grains and soft cascade hops. The taste started with grainy malts; the hops are very much a secondary note, and quite soft at that. A somewhat citrusy aftertaste develops as you progress through the beer. Quite smooth and clean, but not spectacular. Light bodied with moderate carbonation. Overall, not a bad beer, it isn’t what I’m looking for in an APA. The balace is too far off for me. Not Deschutes best offering.

Jan 14, 2007 Bottle: Dusty blonde with a nice, lasting frothy white head. Nose is of malts, bready, and some grassiness. Taste is grassey, malt filled, hints of citrus, and a bit of sourness in the tail. Light body.

Dec 27, 2006 Bottle. Poured a light, very slight hazy yellow hued copper. No impressive head. Salty nose. Very thin body. I would say more saltwater than herbal hop. Light butter flavor possibly from the malt coming through in the finish. The aftertaste leaves a salty water on the tongue which is fine after bodysurfing, but imagine this after playing in the bay all day-not a good idea. "Crisp and refreshing" reminds me of a brew I can drink on the beach to refresh and quench my thirst. Unimpressed.

Dec 24, 2006 Updated: May 30, 2007Bottle... Poured a matte orange with very little white head. Aroma of herbal/floral sents and hops and maybe fruit. Flavors of malt with mild hops and a nice citrus note. I’m not too into Golden Ales but this one has some unique character to it... I really enjoyed this one for a Golden.

Dec 14, 2006 Citrusy, a bit thin, and grassy/herbal. Not really my thing, but this beer has been gathering dust in my closet so it could be past its prime.

Nov 10, 2006 I think this beer lacks everything. It has a typical deschutes flavor but with a hint of unwelcomed sweetness and the end. really light easy drinking. I’ll stick to Twilight Ale if i choose to buy a deschutes again.
