3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle from Johncy’s in North Liberty, IA. Cloudy gold body with a bright white head. I smelled soap, watermelon and some light grapefruit in this one. The taste has light hints of grapefruit rind with some roasted peanut shells. There are also some strange notes of pears and black pepper spice in the finish. This is a brew that seems to me to be halfway between an amber and a Belgian Golden strong ale.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
From a 22 oz bottle poured a hazy gold with a huge foamy head the just would not quit. Nose of piney and floral hops, backed up by mild malts. Somewhat carbonated leading to a light mouthfeel. Flavor slightly sour, and a bit sweet. Finish mildly bitter. Easy to drink.

650 ml bottle from Bevmo. Hazy yellow with a foamy white head. Pleasant honey aroma. Good honey and flowery taste with some hops showing through in the finish. Decent overall.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Sampled out of a 22 oz bottle. Pours with a ton of carbonation, making it pretty much impossible to pour a glass full. Has a very refreshing taste and light malts and hops. Overall a very well crafted light pale beer.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Great beer for the intent of being a golden/blond ale. Refreshing and hoppy. In fact, it was surprisningly hoppy for such a light beer. Piney hops. Great for the beach.

Bottle. Hazy golden/amber beer with a big off-white head. Light citrus/hay/spice aroma. Lemony flavor with some malt and decent bitterness. A bit thin and slightly astringent. Lingering background bitterness.

2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
Light aroma with citrus, and, I think, malt. Hazy golden peach color with a significant white head. Bet this is either unpasteruized or BC. Starts out with a hint of peach, followed by a wet paper overlay, followed by pepper! Interesting mouthfeel, and the pepper may be from hops? Quite dry.
