DocLock (3938), 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. Eyedrinkale (3013), Beer Town, 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. egajdzis (2801), Terrapin, 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. whaleman (2159), North Wales, Pennsylvania, USA May 8, 2008 Bottle. Pale golden-yellow body with a clean white head. Odd briny aroma with a note of yellow mustard. The wild ride continues as fish tones emerge in the flavor. Smooths out a bit after the senses adapt. Some notable spicy hop flavors plus sweet doughy malt form the base here. But a strange grainy, phenolic quality is supplying the off characters. I really, really wanted to like this. But it just ain’t happening.

Poured gold in color with a small white head that diminished quickly. Clear. Sparkling. Lightly sweet and lightly bitter flavor. Flavor of fruit, berries, celery, and Pils malts.
