Nov 26, 2008 A little bit of hops character, but nothing overwhelming. This was a fairly smooth beer and at only 4.2% might make for a good session beer if it was available on tap.

Nov 18, 2008 Aromas of some citrus and bread. Floral on the flavor with more bright flavors. Decent, but not overly exciting.

Oct 20, 2008 Bottle. Moderate malt aroma of straw, flowers and grass for the hops, light earth for the yeast with notes of pepper and wood. Head is small, frothy white with fair lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color slightly hazy yellow/tan. Flavor starts lightly acidic and finishes lightly sweet and moderately bitter. Palate is light to medium, dry, and has a lively carbonation. A very earthy beer. Nothing harsh and a very solid Golden Ale
