pours with a dark yellow clear fractionally white head. nose of crisp and cool cleanliness, crisp hops and slight citrus feel , little malt character. easy to drink. uninteresting, they way these beers are suppose to be.

Sampled on 5/16/2010. This golden ale pours a pale yellow gold color from the tap. Medium sized white foamy head with nice lacing and decent retention. The aroma is fruity and sweet, a touch of grain. A light to medium bodied golden ale. The malts are grainy, fruity and sweet. The hops are slightly spicy. Lively carbonation. Mild flavor. It a brewpub golden ale, no flaws but not a lot of flavor either. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.

On tap at the brewpub. Light yelow with a minimal head. Aroma-grassy, yeast, hoppy. Taste-clean, grainy, refreshing. Finishes crisp and malty, with a nice hop balance.

On tap @ the brewpub. Pale clear yellow with a minimal white head, no retention. Little aroma, though I can pick up on some bready malts, light kilned grain, and a tinge of fruity yeast. Flavor is much the same with what I imagine is some CA ale yeast. Bitternesspeaks at a 1 1/2. Light to moderate prickly carbonation with a light watery body.

On tap. Poured a pale gold color with a two finger white head. Aroma of malt. Flavor was fruit with a little malt balance. Decent summer beer, but very lacking in taste and smell.

Pale yellow gold. Light grain in the aroma, but it is minimal at best. Flavors are light and fruity. A bit of sweet malt, but it is minimal too. Not much going on except thirst quenching here.

Sample at the brewpub: Pours clear golden with tiny bubbles and a thin white head. Thin rings of "V"-shaped lacing. Light aroma of hops and fruit. Light-bodied and somewhat crisp with a decent amount of hops and malt flavor, along with a touch of fruit. The finish is hoppy but thin. Decent for what it is - a thirst-quencher.

On tap at the pub. Deep golden color with a thin, glass-lacing white head.Hoppy aroma with a malty taste.

On draught. Tasted during trip to California. Golden clear colour with a little head. Some fruity aroma. Very common ale, small taste that ends up little bitter very average.
