2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
On tap at the brewery. Pours a clear golden-yellow color with a thin white head that faded to a bubbly ring. Aroma of grain, cereal, and a light earthy hoppiness, but all were muted. Smooth, lightly sweet entry with some soft toasted grain and cereal that leads into a lightly bitter, earthy hoppiness with a soft leafiness that finished with a soft graham cracker sweetness. Moderate carbonation and crisp mouth feel. I think I really need to retry this one, as I think my allergies were messing with my sense of smell pretty good. It was a decent, drinkable beer, it was just a tad bland, although I usually love simple, crisp, drinkable beers.

Tap @ Choice City Butcher & Deli. Clear golden with a pure white head. Malty aroma with zesty citrus and spicy hops. The flavor is full and malty without being sweet, the bitterness from the hops balance the beer perfectly. Light body with average carbonation and a crisp, dry, refreshing finish. Really good for the style, one of the best Golden Ales I’ve had. The perfect session beer.
