draft, clear golden color with short white foam, aroma is fruity with a decent clean fruity taste, could be a bit more flinty and dry but not bad

Draft. A light golden beer with a thin white head. The aroma has light notes of malt, lemon, and straw. The flavor is sweet malty with light notes of straw and citrus.

Sample at the brewpub on 8/10/10. Clear yellow/gold pour with a thin white head. Malty aroma with crisp noble hops and lager yeast. Kinda faint and weak though. Malty flavor with some crisp hops and lager yeast with a thin finish.

Pours a very clear macro look almost too yellow. Aroma is minimal. Flavor isgood. Some pear notes, a crisp clean finish. Very good a hint of bitter bite atthe nd but more crisp and clean than anything else

On tap at the brewpub. Pours clear yellow with a modest white head and a floral aroma. There is a citric caramel malt flavor with some carbonation and a dry crisp finish.

Draught at the brewpub. Pale gold with a small white head. grainy malt aroma with a touch of sulpher and some grassy, lightly spicy hops. The flavor has a nice grainy maltiness as well, which is balanced by snappy noble hops that give an almost minty flavor. Very clean character overall. Dry with a nice bitterness in the finish that is higher than I expected given the style. Light bodied and generously carbonated, though not to excess. Though there is a touch of candy sweetness form the malt, this really leans more toward hops, which is quite welcome. This makes the golden ale look really bad. Why even bother making both?

Really sweet with a strong hint of vanilla and some caramel. Quite pleasant but not enough hop strength to balance this one.

Clear bright yellow with a fizzy white head. Vaniilla and grain aroma Cereal grain vanilla and malt taste with a smooth bready finish.
