dwyerpg (2143), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA May 25, 2008 I found this to be quite enjoyable. Crisp and zesty, it has a nice head and good light crisp taste and finish. Definitely the beer I was looking for right now. riversideAK (1757), Shoreline, Washington, USA Feb 21, 2007 Very nice aroma of crisp hops and some corn flake sweetness. Appearance is a blonde ale. Flavor is nice cereal sweetness followed by some crisp hoppiness and ending with a dry and creamy smoothness. Incredibly smooth on the palate. This is one of the better blonde ales I have ever had. doubleo (966), San Diego, California, USA Mar 5, 2008 22oz bottle. Pours a cloudy golden orange color with a fluffy, crisp white head. Smells mellow, earthy malty and a little nutty. Tastes nutty as well. Earthy malts, earthy hops or is that the hops that taste like peanuts? Moderately dry mouthfeel. Medium body, good smooth carbonation. bhensonb (3138), Woodland, California, USA Oct 14, 2007 Bomber from Bottle Barn. Aroma of caramel/lightly roasted malt (sort of honey/toffee) and floral hop. A deep inhale is interesting. An orangy golden color with a white head that ringed rapidly, leaving lace tatters. Medium bodied with mild carbonation. It starts floral, but soon comes up with rough roasted malt accompanied by light sweetness. It’s also lightly fruit in a peachy/apricoty way. Very much in an apricoty way. It’s actually pretty darn complex, and that is an indication this is underrated. The finish is neither sweet nor dry. The bitter is floral, so I’d guess about 40 IBU. Although bitter builds with continued consumption. I’d forgotten how talented those folks at Moylans are. This is extremely enjoyable ale. Crisp, clean, lightly spicey. Everything ale should be. Wonderful. Kinz (1931), Glen Allen, Virginia, USA Jan 30, 2008 Light orange, light particulate haze, decent head fades quite slowly to a ring. Aroma is bready and surprisingly roasty considering the pale color. I’m actually getting a faint coffee note. Flavor is also surprisingly roasty, I would have pegged this for a brown ale if I had been sampling blind, and would have been rather obviously wrong. Some earthy hops on the finish accent this as well. Easy drinker, enjoyable, and clearly a different take on the golden ale category.
