Sep 7, 2007 Figured I’d try out their golden ale (and the three "blends" while I was at it including the ember and half and half). Pours gold with a white head. Smells nutty and earthy. Tastes of sweet sugary wheat, nutty and on the watery side. Slightly better than the brown.

Aug 12, 2008 Bottle (12oz). Shared by blankboy with me and garthicus. Light gold pour, clear, with a small diminishing white head (3-). Very light aroma of honey and clover, clean, slightly perfumey. tastes like a decently well-made macro golden ale - moderately grainy, a little floral and sweet, a light grassy bitterness in the linger. Watery, ever-so-slightly astringent, very quick-finishin - lawnmower beer.
