hopdog (5527), Lansdale, Pennsylvania, USA May 24, 2008 12oz bottle. Poureda medium and clear golden color with an averaged sized white head. Aromas of grains and some maltiness. Tastes of the same. THin body. Not much going on here. jcwattsrugger (5223), Florida and, New Jersey, USA Aug 21, 2008 12oz bottle-pours a rich white head that laces and gold color with lots of effervescence. Aroma is lemon, grain. Taste is lemon/spicy hops (Amarillo and Continental) up front with some bite, secondary grain/light malt-sweet/husky. Enjoyed the first half more than the second half, but a very nice beer. Thanks to Joe-jwc215 for picking this out. JoeMcPhee (4893), Jackson Heights, New York, USA Mar 18, 2009 Pale straw colour. Aroma is of lemon/orange citrus. A touch of straw. Quite sickly sweet with an overabundance of sweet orange peel and maybe even some coriander. Bleh… truly awful. DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA May 13, 2008 Bottle. Gold pour with 2-finger white head. Nose has mild notes of honey, hopcitrus, and honey. Tastes on the watery side, with some hopcitric tartness and some slightly astringent pale malt notes. Forgettable. egajdzis (3602), Spring Mount, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 13, 2008 [Draft @ Ray’s "Happy Birthday" Bar] Poured a lightly hazy golden color with a small, white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of toasted malts, light toffee, citrus fruits, and a bit of floral hops. Taste was crisp, with toasty dough, pils malt, light citrus fruits, toffee, and a lemon rind finish. Eyedrinkale (3209), Astoria, New York, USA Apr 12, 2008 On tap at Rays "Happy Brithday" Bar, a block away from Genos Steaks in Philly. Goldis yellow in color with. Aroma that isnt much more then lemon and orange zest. Nice head retention. flavor is plenty hoppy alright. Similar to Yuengling, tasty, insipid. TomDecapolis (3130), Skippack, Pennsylvania, USA Jun 17, 2008 Pours a lightly hazy golden/yellow with a medium foamy/bubbly head that left some spotty lacing. Aroma of hay, horse barn (but not in a funky lambic way), grainy bread, malty with a touch of some citrus. Flavor of cereal grains, grassy, hay, lightly floral and citrus notes. Some hop bitterness and flavor that lingers around. For some weird reason I was getting blueberry pie out of the flavor. No clue why.
