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 30, 2008 Just fine. Were it not for their ablity to brew great beers, I would probably be less forgiving. I’m not sure this is the APA that they are capible of.

Jul 30, 2008 served on draft at the glarner stube. dark straw color with malt and hops in the nose. Not sure why this is a winter pale ale? hops are earthy with sweetness from the malt that finishes tart. slight caramel notes. not my favorite.

Jul 28, 2008 Sweet malty aroma, honey, light hops. Golden orange color with white head. Flavor is sweet malt, some hay, breat, honey, apples, and light pepperiness. Palate is even - neither heavy nor light. Bitter duration and finish. Pretty good.

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.
