clear gold, lots of visible carbonation, dense white head, streaks of lace,
light flaral hop aroma,
well balanced malt flavor, nice bitterness keeps it dry, touch of bready character in the malt brings in a bit of sweetness, as the sweetness grows so does the floral hops to keep the balance,

2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle… Clear golden ale with a small, creamy, white head. Great retention. Biscuit malt and peppery hops are restrained, but noteworthy, aroma-wise. Medium-bodied with prickly carbonation. Well-balanced, but a touch metallic with notations of honey and pale malts. Lightly sweet finish.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Draft at Oldsmar Tap. Poured clear golden color with an average frothy white head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Moderate sour citrus and malt aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture and soft carbonation. Medium bittersweet flavor with a medium bittersweet finish of moderate duration. Good session brew.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle: pours an effervescent deep golden bronze with a clingy-lacing, airy white head. Very mild, pale grainy malty and floral grassy hop nose. Body starts with about average fullness, not much sweetness and some earthy bittering hops toward a drier crisp finish. Pretty true to style and drinkable, just not very flavorful or aromatic.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle courtesy of daknole. Pours gold with a white head. Smells earthy with some peppery hints. Tastes astringently bitter and rubbery and is very lacking

Thanks to David for bringing this over. Poured mostly clear, brighter golden with a short cap of whitish head. The aroma picked up darker vegetal and dry corn, but it somehow came together in a cool way.. a touch of honey as well, and not much on the hop front. The flavor had honey and sweet caramel notes with a light dose of floral bitterness and a dry, sweeter finish. Light-bodied and nicely balanced high-ish carbonation. Refreshing.
