2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Grainy malts, mild, herbal hops, and light buttery diacetyl in the aroma. Clear yellow-gold with decent white head that diminishes to ring with minor lace. Grainy malt flavour with a fair bitterness and light herbal hop flavour. Light body is very dry. Sampled with MartinT, muzzlehatch and Rastacouere at the restaurant next to Half Time.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle from beer of month club. Mild sweet smell and bubbly pour. Light tan color and somewhat weak golden ale. Mild hop undertone and it seems watered down without much character. Average if it's 90 degrees out, otherwise go for something else.
---Rated via my mouth
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Aroma is grassy/mildly skunky along with a hint of piney hops. The flavor is malts, mild citrus/piney hops that leads into a crisp finish.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 8/20
The color is the best part. Not much of an aroma and a fairly bland taste. This beer wouldn’t be too bad on a summer day but isn’t the best I have had.

Bottle. Pours clear gold with a thin off-white head. Aromas of sweet raisin, dough, and cake. The flavor is sweet dough, some fruity malt, and some raisin. Average. [1026]
2.2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle. Right when I poured this crap I knew it was crap. Golden version of a bu, but not as light. Very sweet and not very desireable
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
On tap. Pours a clear gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a grassy note with backing grain and a bit of earthy flora. Flavor starts with grains and has a bit of grass and a hint of flora in the finish.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
Bottle @ Gand Cru in Rhinebeck... Poured pale yellow with a white head. Faint hop citrus character, lemon peel, slightly skunkified. Low malt flavor and a short, flavorless finish. Highly drinkable but not very worthwhile.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at the brewery, poured into a cheater pint glass. I can not believe I have not reviewed this beer before since I live so close to the brewery.
A: straw yellow in color, small white head reduces to a light cap
S: neutral nose, slight malt and flowery hop
T: pretty much what a blond should be, does have slight tannin
M: light bodied, good mouth
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle to kinda palate cleanse between my Belgian night. Pours golden with light head. Tastes of grass, banana, metal, grain, and corn. Nice carbonation and refreshing but nothing memorable.
2.1 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
12oz bottle. No date.
Appearance- Light straw color with a big, full white head. Goes away fast, though. Little lacing.
Smell- Small, watered down Belgian yeast character. Bits of clove and banana.
Taste- Small pilsner malt flavor with bits of clove and belgian yeast character.
Mouthfeel- Thin with higher carbonation to it than the average Golden ale.
Overall- A little thin in the flavor department. This maybe better if it was summer, but in the winter I want. Something a little more interesting.
