Bottle. Pours a hazy orange-copper with a big, mostly-lasting, fluffy off-white head. Decent aroma, slightly sweet, of caramel malt, more hops then expected, some fruit and light toastiness. Light, hoppy, fruity flavour, a touch watery, backed by lightly toasted caramel malt and a light bitter finish. Easy to drink. The aftertaste got just a tad iffy after a while though. Medium bodied. Though not amazing or anything this is still much better then I expected and I would easily drink it again.

Bottle sampled at NFB&WF ’08 at Martha Clara Vineyards. Pours a clear amber. Mild aroma of malt. The flavor starts out with some caramel malt, and is followed by light hops bitterness. Not a bad beer, its just that the flavors kind of lurk in the background and never seem to make a real appearance.

A pretty good ale. Earthy sweet and hoppy aromas with in initial creamy complexion. Malt and hop flavors are even so none particularly pop out and punch you in the face. Nice and balanced.

On tap @ Coles Buffalo NY. Not sure why this is a blonde or golden ale since it s dark copper colored. Pours a copper color with decent 3/4 inch head. Light toasted malt aroma. Taste is toasty with orangy & light berrish flavor. Decent mouthfeel some light bitterness. Non obtrusive & easy drinking but doesnt really wow you in any aspect

Bottle: Deep copper/orange pour with a bubbly tan head. Has a leafy hop aroma with a lot of orangey fruit character and a toasted caramel back. Light body, a bit fluffy. The flavor has a toasted and grainy malt character, along with mild orangey hop notes, but all this is a bit spoiled by a saccharine type of flavor that lots of organic beers tend to have. Still drinkable.

On tap at Vermont brewpub. Floral hoppy. Light orange with big soapy head. Creamy, above average mouthfeel. Good bitterness without the high IBU.Drinkable.
