3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Copper in colour with white head, not much retention, but decent lacing. Lively spicy aroma. The flavour with much like an APA or IPA, so I was surprised this was categorized as a Golden Ale. Much more flavourful than your typical golden ale/blond ale. Nice beer.

Rich, sweet malts blend nicely with spicy, grassy, pine-like citrus hops in the nose. Clear, deep golden coloured body is topped by an enthusiastic white head that recedes slowly and laces well. Light cereal malt character with spicy hop flavours and medium bitterness. Somewhat sweet and floral in the finish. Medium light body with crisp carbonation. Somewhat slick in texture.

they should call this one shitwood ale. Horrible in flavour and equally in appearance. not worth your time.

UPDATED: APR 10, 2011 [3656-20110323] Bottle. Fragrant lychee cardboard aroma has a lemony raspberry hint. Hazy, bright orange body with a quick foamy white head. Fruity raspberry-like tartness continues in the flavour with a muted citrus hint without the acidity. Medium body is fairly bubbly. Interesting, odd at first though. (6+/3/7/3/13+) 3.2

650ml bottle from BC Liquor. Pours a very clear light golden with ample, pillowy, lasting off white head. Aroma is slightly sweet, grassy and bitter. Taste is better than expected. A lovely biscuity malt marries well with clean and crisp hops, some sweetness there as well. Excellent mouthfeel. Lingering and welcome finish. Very solid.

Draught at Alibi Room, Vancouver, as Driftwood Eponymous Ale
Deep blond color; creamy head. Nice aroma of fruity hops and white refined sugar, a bit earthy too. Dry mouthfeel, some malt, grassy, but also with traces of vegetables, leading to some final astringency; strong bitterness, also a bit minty; not a bad recipe, but probably not the best batch.

Tap. Nearly golden with some head retention. Aromas of crisp hops and clean malt. Some hay and barley too. Taste is malty with a zing of hops. Aftertaste is dry and wheaty. Pretty enjoyable.
