Pours a three finger off-white head that fades slowly leaving some lace. Clear amber color. Medium carbonation and medium bodied. Slight piney hop nose. Flavor is typical golden with hops up front, some sweetness. Dry finish with lingering bitter aftertaste. $1.55 for a 12oz bottle from Liquid Solutions Oregon City, Or.

Slightly hazy golden. Aroma is straw with lighter fruit notes, some pale malt backing. Light bodied and inoffensive, somewhat enjoyable.

Bottle: Golden in color, fairly clear, moderate white foamy head, decent lacing, moderate carbonation.   Malt forward nose, slight straw/hay, a bit of huskiness to it as well, albeit minor.   Soft grainy malts to start, a little barnish, dusty, with the aformentioned straw/hay.   Also has a bit of a hop zip to it.   Does seem somewhat light for the style, but thats okay.   I rather have it lighter than having it grainier.   Moderate body and mouthfeel.   Hops die out fairly quickly on the finish, leaving only a soft grainy malt base.   Tiz okay, average I spoze.   As it warms it picks up more graininess, which I could do without.   Worth a try.

Draft at the brewpub. Light pale malt aroma with light hop. Golden amber color with a fine white head. Medium body with near creamy carbonation. Very smooth. The finish is definitely, but mildly, bitter. Seems citrus bitter.

Poured a light, thin straw-golden-copper color with a minute head. Nose of faint malts and mild hops. Grassy, earthy, and thin in the finish. Sessionable as heck!

clear gold yellow with no head, stale fruit nose, grassy citrus flavor, fresh hop with dry grassy finish, crispy, light on the tongue, delicate, well done

12oz bottle. Poured a medium and hazy golden color with an averaged sized head. Aromas of grains / wheat and citrus. Tastes of the same. A drinkable Golden Ale!

On tap at the BP. Clear golden witj a nive whiye head and lots of clingy lacong. Not much of an aroma. Flavor is faint and like the amber, eaethy and woody. Very little hops and a soft wheaty bread y after taste. Moderate carbonation.

12oz bottle. Aroma is light malt and light citrus and floral hops, really just a hint of the hops. There is a touch of sourness/acidity too. Beer is golden color, with active carbonation. Taste is really hops driven (for style-really not otherwise), very citrusy and floral, maybe cascade? Light malt in the background. Unassuming, but the taste is better than the aroma,

Draft. Amber beer with an off-white head. Malty, spice, light citrus hop aroma. Citrusy hop flavor with spice and caramel malt. Medium body. Nice balance. Lingering spice/citrus/malt. A lot more hops than I thought it would and it made it a lot more interesting.
