| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 28, 2007 Floral, citrus hops are lightly spicy in the nose. Subdued underlying wheat character. Opaque yellow straw coloured body is topped by a decent white head that recedes to a lasting cover with some lacing. Strong hop bitterness over the lightly sour wheat profile. Light-medium body with moderate carbonation. Bottle sampled with Altair, beerbuzzmontreal, Cathschlag, Glouglouburp, Goldorak, MartinT, muzzlehatch and Yowie. MartinT (5050), Montreal, Quebec, Canada
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jul 26, 2007 My Bottom Line:
This Golden Ale’s gregarious haystacks and grassy hops compose a wonderful pastoral.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A veil of foam skirts the hazy pale yellow.
-Grassy hop bitterness is gripping and lengthy.
-Effervescence is comfortable and increases drinkability.
-Both High and Mighty bottled beers are marvelous session ales!

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 18, 2007 Easily the best blonde ale ever. Clloudy yellow color. The aroma is sweet and has wheat and some light spice. It smells like a wit. Moderately sweet in the flavor, some salt, a little wheat. badgerben (3596), Blaine, Minnesota, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 9, 2007 Thank ya kindly, JK! Hazy yellow color with a medium head. Aroma of wheat and grapefruit. As someone else at the tasting said, it tastes a whole lot like iced tea. Wheat and tobacco as well. BDR (2154), Roseville, Minnesota, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jul 9, 2007 Thanks to JK for sharing. A cloudy yellow pour with decent head. Interesting grape fruit aroma with malty hints. Fresh grapefruit, tobacco, and malt in the taste. bu11zeye (5442), Frisco, Texas, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jul 8, 2007 (Bottle) Pours a cloudy yellow body with a small white head. Aroma of citrus, sour, herbs, white grapes. Flavors of citrusy hops, malt, and florals with a bitter finish. blankboy (3204), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 24, 2007 Bottle. Pours a hazy yellow-gold with a large long-lasting foamy white head. Some decent lacing. Aroma of floral hops, quite spicy and citrusy, along with sweet malt, grass and yeast. Flavour’s also spicy and citrusy with a good amount of floral hops backed by sweet malt and yeast and a mild but long bitter finish. Medium bodied, body’s quite carbonated. I don’t really think this should be in the "Golden Ale" category, more like a Belgian Saison or something, but whatever it is, it’s pretty good stuff. JAF737300 (792), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 23, 2007 This is a great beer! It pours a cloudy blond with a nice head. It shows some decent light hop notes on the aroma and then breaks into a complex but yet crisp amount of malt and hop flavors. The beer drinks with a crisp flavor and offers a nice long finish.
