Commercial Description:
A light to medium bodied deep golden ale that starts with an elegantly creamy malt complexity and ends with a firm but understated hop finish that balances the initial sweetness with a touch of bitterness.

Clean and crisp. Nice maltiness, but not cloying. Flavorful and well made, with no oxidized aftertaste. With the possible exception of Sammy Smith Organic Ale, which is sometimes too diacetylic, this is the best organic beer I have tasted.

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.

thin head ... malt, hay and corn aroma ... thin taste ... light spice and earth in the background ... some light hops in the finish ... easy drinking but very regular
