On tap at GVB--Ultra light amber, mostly golden body with no head. Creamy, caramel maltiness with mildly floral hops. Very astringent and crisp cereal finish. Nice.

Draft at the brewpub. A golden beer with a slight haze under a thin white head. The aroma is sweet with grassy notes of hops. The flavor is sweet grassy combined with notes of malt and a light touch of spicy hops, leading to a dry bitter finish.

From a 12 ounce brown bottle. Poured into a 12 ounce clear glass tumbler. Enormous white head atop an orange-amber beer. Big aroma of hops and citrus. Very slightly bitter finish. Never did get the head less than about 3 inches. Dimpled cloud-like head. Truly a sessionable APA. Will be trying the on-tap version when I can. Kudos to Golden Valley Brewery for the label design...Very distinctive and classy. Good session APA.

Decent pale ale that strikes a nice balance between the citrus hops and caramel malt. Easy drinking session beer.

On tap at Golden Valley Brewery. Copper coloured. Light hop in the mouth and strong, over-hopped bitterness in the finish. Slight citrus also. Definitely the best one here, but not worth purchasing.
