UPDATED: MAR 31, 2006 Draught at the brewpub. Clear deep golden. Lightly citric nose. Sweet and malty with rounded mouthfeel. A refreshing easy drinking beer with some character of its own. It works for me.

Oakes (10191) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - JAN 3, 2003
Light tan; faint aroma; woody cascades mixes with a nice pale malt character. Hints of toasty amber malts work well. Light but well-balanced, refreshing.

JorisPPattyn (6729) - Antwerpen, BELGIUM - APR 18, 2006
Draught Grainy-golden colour, light olive shine; no head. Light, again very freshly greenery smelling; touch of hops and lime. Like it. Good lemony hops and just enough pale malts to make it slightly sweet and not empty. OK, light body to style. So some of them CAN actually brew light ales.

jerc (5591) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - JUL 17, 2010
2010-07-01. Dark yellow body with a small white head. First impression is not good. Rough grainy grassy character, modest bitterness. Aroma is similar, rough grainy grass, wheat, hints of oxidation? Off/oxidized or just not good, I don’t know. Average to thin bodied palate. Not for me. On tap at Diamond Knot, Mukilteo

On tap at brewpub. Light gold color. Small head. Aroma is malty, fruity and sweet, touch grainy. A light to medium bodied blonde/golden ale. Malts are fruity and sweet. Touch of citrusy hops. Quite a lot for a golden actually. Nice balance. Crisp and dry. Light and refreshing. Nice balance. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is crisp and dry. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

Ibrew2or3 (4914) - Phoenix, Arizona, USA - NOV 3, 2007
On tap at the brewpub. Pours as the name suggests, a clear deep golden color with bright white head. The aroma is pale malts mixed with a grainy breadiness. I’m not sure if it is to style but it smells good. The taste is much like the aroma with pale and grainy malts mixed with a pulse of sweeter malts. There’s a mild spice hoppiness in there too. It ends a bit thin and watery.

Skyview (4880) - Papoose Jct, Minnesota, USA - SEP 2, 2008
On draught at the brewpub in Mukilteo, Washington. Pours a clear golden pale blonde brew with a fast dissolving white head that dissipates to a thin white ring and some spotty lacing. Aroma of golden grain malt, some wheat bread, a touch of corn meal and citrus zest. Taste is light bodied, some carbonation and with a more grainy malt flavor compared to the summer blonde ale. Finish is light, crisp with a nice balance of malt and citrus hop aftertaste flavors.

riversideAK (4566) - Shoreline, Washington, USA - OCT 13, 2008
Nice golden ale. Aroma is light and sweet with the faintest touch of citrus. Pours gold with a thin head. Light pale malt sweetness initially with a really nice citrus/floral hoppy finish. A hoppy golden ale. Enjoyable.
