Pours a light amber/gold with a big frothy white head. Aroma is biscuity sweet corn, dough and lemon. Flavor is heavier than the nose would suggest with some pale malt and earthy hops. Finishes somewhat long and fruity bitter. Light to medium bodied, very vegetal texture.

12oz bottle. Fruity and spicy aroma including the likes of subdued pineapple, mango, orange, and light clove. Poured a clear golden-light orange color. The white head reduced quickly to a thin film. Light bodied and dry with citrus fruit, clove, and green vegetable notes. There were also some pale malt and cereal undertones. So so.

good, decent ale: wet and chalky mouthfeel; hearty flavor, yet mostly reminiscent of biscuits, light lemon-pepper, and nothing much else... oddly good--never expecting great, however.

Picked up a single 12-oz bottle at Brennan’s Country Farm Market in Brookfield, Wisconsin. Pours a semi hazy golden blonde brew with a thin white head that quickly dissipates to a white ring. Aroma of light caramel malt, some bread character with a fruity hop scent that even has some black pepper. Taste is light to medium bodied, light carbonation with flavors of light caramel malt, some light dry biscuits, flowery hops, pineapple and a touch of lemon. Finish is semi-sweet, with a dry mild hop aftertaste.

Bottle from beeronthewall. Hazy dark straw pour with 1-finger splotchy off-white head and some orange hues seeping through. The aroma is caramel malty, crisp, with hops, pineapple, black pepper, orange marmalade. Tastes very hoppy, on the dry side, citric, crisp. Almost mouth-puckeringly hoppy and citric and perhaps lacking a bit of malt in the bill, but without a doubt, this is one of the most, if not the most, hoppy and citric golden ales I have yet quaffed, and I enjoyed it a great deal.
