 hopscotch (5439), Vero Beach, Florida, USA
Jul 26, 2008 Bottle... Mostly clear, golden ale with a small, fizzy, white head that dissipates in a flash. The nose offers lots of toffee and biscuit malts with lesser notes of perspiration and spicy hops. Medium to full-bodied with a skim-milk mouthfeel and ticklish carbonation. Plenty of toffee sweetness overpowers the initial, snappy hop bite. Finishes honey-sweet.

Jul 26, 2008 Bottle, pours a hazy yellow-orange body with a little sediment and a yellowish-white head. Aroma of sweet malts, sugar, and a hint of hops. Flavor is more of the same. Medium-bodied with a light, bitter hop and malt finish.

Jul 22, 2008 The last in a series of 4 beers in a mixed pack. Poured a very gold color with a huge head. Not overly hoppy, but well balanced. Not great but good.

Jul 20, 2008 bottle. Pours a hazy, gold, with a massive white head. Rich malt and hops. Light, with a somewhat sour flavor. Lingering finish.

Jul 19, 2008 Clean and crisp, but less ale than lager. Bought in a little store in Madison while the wife took the kid back to the hotel. Not too revolutionary of a beer.

Jul 14, 2008 This is very drinkable, but nothing extraordinary. Pours a clear gold, small white head. Clean, malty flavor. Subtle and refreshing.

Jul 9, 2008 You know what I love about New Glarus? They don’t seem to be too concerned about beer styles. This one’s not really sure if it’s a creamy golden ale or a pale, but whatever it is, I like it. A lot, actually. Golden orange pour with a thin layer of foamy head. Sweet nose with a bit of creaminess and some light fruit. Malt a little more present than hops. Tastes of honey, bread, hops. Bottle conditioning makes for a great mouthfeel. This is not a beer that grabs you hard, but I honestly can’t think of a better go-to session beer than this one. Perfectly balanced. Thanks to James for the bottle. Now if we could only get it in NC...

Jul 7, 2008 Perfectly clear darker gold color with a soft white head that retains well and leaves good lacing. Aroma is fairly low on the hops, but there is still some floral hints; I also get a little hint of apple, honeycomb, and some nice pale malt to round it out. Taste gives me some honey bread and floral hops at the forefront, a little pale malt balanced by the hops in the finish. Carbonation is a touch higher than medium with a bit heavier than light body. Pretty good beer, IMO; this one might not knock your socks off, but it is a very well made beer perfect for sessioning. Another success.
