May 19, 2008 Draft… DLD’08… Mostly clear, light yellow ale with a small, fizzy, white head. The aroma is extremely subdued... I pulled a few wafts of honey mixed with a little leather and grain. Medium-bodied with a milky mouthfeel and tingly carbonation. Very sweet with a whisper of acidity and no detectible bitterness. Finishes mildly sweet and gently acidic.

May 8, 2008 Sessionable enough brew, but not real interesting. It pours a light clear gold body with a short-lived little had and leaves no lace on the glass. There are some soft garden flower scents over a warm, grainy malt. The flavor has some light sweet malts and the faint hop flavors are a mild grassy bitterness. One was enough.

Apr 25, 2008 Draft at Clyburn location. Cloudy light yellow with a tiny head. Lemony, bitter with a mellow maltiness. Buttery that tastes like a Corona, Bud, Miller mix. Undrinkable.

May 20, 2008 In short: A light floral and slightly citric/tart session blonde ale.
How: Tap at brewpub (Clybourn location)
The look: Clear yellow body topped by a lit
In long: Very floral and herbal beer. Flavours of hay, lemongrass, dandelions and lime. Mild-medium bitterness with a citric touch. Pleasant light tartness. Sweetness level kept to a minimum. Tickling carbonation. A fine session ale but it just didn’t measure up to the pint of 2.5% Six I had just before. But you know you’re in a excellent brewpub when the entry-level Golden Ale is pretty good. Another indication that you’re in a very good brewpub is when all the beers are good.
