Commercial Description:
With an exceptionally crisp palate, this ale balances the light malt palate with a subtle bitterness. This ale is an ideal beer for those unaccustomed to micro-brewed beers.

Bottled. Golden colour, small white head. Aroma is cookies, caramel malts and a bit sugary. Flavour is quite much the same along with some doughy and grassy hints.

Tap@Eel River. Didn’t find in very intersting, just thin grainy malts, like their pale ale, it was easy to drink, but not interesting.

12oz bottle. Poured a medium to deeper and slighlty hazy golden color with a smaller sized head. Aromas of grains and a little doughy. Tastes of grains, dough, and some citrus. Not bad for a Golden/Blond ale.

A Mes rate: Bottle at GBBF.
Golden brown with good white head. Huge bready malt with lots of toffee and burnt sugar. Odd milky notes. Almost diacetyl in finish but I’ll call it caramel. Not great and not nearly enough hoppage.

Clear golden with tiny off white head. Sweet malty aroma with caramel and mild hoppy notes. Flavor has toasted malt, caramel and hops. Ends bitter.
