Orange-gold with small white head and nice lacing. Aroma of citrus, straw and sweetness. Hops hit you up front, and stay with you through the end and the aftertaste. A bit much on the straw flavor. Slightly sweet taste but almost undetectable.

Good beer. Nothing spectacular, but a solid APA. Medium hopiness. Tasty and refreshing.

Gold with an orange tint, a bit fizzy. Slightly sweetish aroma, with some citric hops and bready notes. Flavor is far more of a blonde than an APA. Vaguely beery, somehow almost stale. Flavor notes overall reflect the aroma, but with a somewhat cooked aspect. Easy to drink, but not my thing.

Dark maize with a light tan foamy head Hoppy-citric nose. Smooth and richly malted, citric-acidic-sweet finish. Good beer.

Bottle. Cloudy golden color with a nicely lacing head. Aroma is of mild hops with a little bit of maltiness. Flavor is reminiscent of Sierra Nevada, but a little bit more thin. Overall a nice pale.

A hazy copper colored brew that is topped by a cream colored head. A spicy lightly citric aroma, and perhaps a bit of oxidation character, emanated from my glass. There is a bit of spiciness in the taste as well. This is a fairly bland beer though. I seems to be dominated by stale malt and cardboard type flavors.

very clear and eye-squinting brightness from the trumpet brassy pour. hoisted on high is a jaunty mantle of foam the color of sunflower meats. served cold, aroma is tough to get ahold of, but my nose finally tackled what i likened to pear-like notes, green willow foliage, orange hard candy, and fresh bleached white flour. brisk mid-tongue attack of carbonation throws all it's hops into play immediately, mostly with citrus zest flavors, leaving slightly sweet malts to whisper at the edges with a golden-grained accent of tortilla chips. nice little pale-- cleansing and clarion with spicy foods.

Slightly hazy burnt orange with a medium white creamy head. A slightly musty English citrus aroma,some pine. A slightly sweet malt taste with a dry citrus finish. A good session beer.

Lovely clear amber body topped by a small creamy beige head. Aroma is medium sweet, floral, light orange/grapefruit. Taste is medium sweet, medium bitterness, floral, orange, light caramel. Medium body with light chewiness. A delightful beer, perfect for sessions.

Okay, so I guess this isn't too bad for a blonde ale. The aroma is not enticing. The Mouthfeel is ok, but it could be a little thicker. The initial taste is very paleish, but the finish and aftertaste are just nasty. It lasts forever. The bitterness in the finish is not the good bitter that you get from good hops; it is that bitter you get when you lick the crystal of a leaf in the woods. That is the major downfall of this beer.
