(12 oz bottle: Obtained in trade with jasonp, thanks Jason!) Moderately flavorful golden ale with a mildly sweet breadiness being the dominant flavor. There’s a hint of tea in the flavor, and hops is pretty minimal. The nose smells like weak tea, plus some mild breadiness. Light to medium bodied, gentle and unchallenging on the palate, easy to drink. Dark golden in color. There are fine, light colored particles suspended in the beer, but you don’t notice them unless you hold the beer up to light and look intently. Off-white head is of average size and fades quickly to a wide rim. No lace whatsoever. Pretty average all around.

Pours clear gold with a medium white head. Aroma has honey and straw...slightly sweet. Flavor has light grassiness and mild fruity sweetness. Mouthfeel is medium and the finish is crisp and faintly fruity...dries a bit.

bottle; clear gold with medium off-white; aroma-caramel, sweet, hay, citrus; taste-light sweetness, lightly bitter, light body, thin feel, average carbonation. Actually very easy to drink, good aroma but a little thin.

12oz bottle. Bright gold color, thin white head. Aroma of pale malts, fruity esters. Tastes just like the same grain profile of the Classic Lager but with an addition of fruit esters from ale yeast. Smooth and sessionable. Very refreshing. (3298)

Best beer option at a crab bar I was at...hint it wasn’t churchkey.... Completely generic tasting beer....no hops to speak of, fizzy and yellow. Nothing notable, but at least it didn’t taste stale.

This ale is properly named, as the pour is a rich golden color with a thin white head. Ample lacing on the glass. The scent is hops and citrus. The taste is basic hops and a little malt. The palette is slippery with mild carbonation. This is like the little brother to the much more bold Loose Cannon. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Pours orange and yellow with a small white head. Nose smells like honey. Label claims floral notes, I detect none. Taste is sweet, if I try real hard, I can get a faint bitter taste, but not enough to make this beer balanced. Mouthfeel is soft and velvet, probably the only thing I really like about this beer.

not impressed can not find anything real distinguishing positive or negative.

bottle from a mixed 12 pack poured a golden color with a covering of white head. aroma has spicy hops, some fruit, and a light malted side. mouth feel is light and there is medium low carbonation. flavor has a nice hop side, some spice, and pale malt.

From the mix pack. Tastes different than the first two of these I tried. Better even. A medium golden brew. Decent carbonation. Light malty aromas. Flavor is less sweet than the other two. Clean drinking. Honey like finish.

Bottle courtesy of my brother Justin. Thanks! Clear golden orange appearance with a white head. Grassy hoppy, bland pale malty nose. Sweet pale malty, lightly grassy-organic hoppy flavor. Pretty boring beer but there isn’t necessarily anything wrong with it.
