Personally, I find most golden/blonde ales to be bland, but this is one of the better ones i’ve tasted. Pours clear gold with just a hint of opacity. Thin creamy head that leaves excellent lacing. Aroma piney hops and fruits. Flavor is very citrus-y with a perfect bitter hop blend. A great golden ale.

12oz bottle: appearance is a hazy golden brown with white head, aroma of malt with a hint of hops, flavor has a good amount of hops with a good malt backbone with a hint of caramel, great beer.

12 oz bottle. Poured a cloudy amber with a thin white head. Nose was sweet, maybe apricot and grapefruit. Has a sweet flavor to it . Nice smooth medium bodied mouthful makes this an easy beer to drink. Ends with some decent bitterness

Pours a hazy dark golden color with off white head. Light sour grapefruit aroma. Sweet and fruity with some hop bitterness and sweet maltiness. Slightly spicy. Medium body with average carbonation. A very nice beer.

Golden color with a light white head. Clear look. Smell is some hops, grassy, malts, yeast. Taste is grassy with a medium bitterness. Pine at the back of the mouth. Decent.

Bottle. This is dissimilar to any other golden ale I’ve ever had. Poured a clear gold with a small white head. Aroma was lacking a little. Main notes were of bread and yeast. Flavor was floral and fruity. Very complex, drinkable beer. Love it.
