Bottle. Pours golden with orange hues and a 1 finger white head, dissipating to a filmy, white, effervescent sheen. Sweet, malty goodness in the nose, bread and some light fruit, maybe something citric? Flavor is dry with bread and mild corn, a solid, piny bitter that lingers into the after with the dryness. Solid beer.

Clear pale gold topped by a dense white head. Doughy malt aromas accompanied by some noble hops and hint of lemon. Crisp biscuit like malts, earthy hops and some light mineral notes. Finishes dry and clean with a slight lingering grassy flavor.

Tap at Angels and Kings. Pours a clear, bubbly gold with a medium, pure white head. Sweet, malty aroma with notes of grain, straw, honey and fruits. More sweetness in the flavor with a malty base, then some hints of fruits. Finishes with crisp bitterness. Medium bodied with lively carbonation. A great American interpretation of the style.

Nothing to complain about, but also nothing special. Nice aroma and taste, but bitterness finishes it off.

Sampled at the brewery on 2/20/10. Pours golden yellow, but with very little lacing or head. Nice aroma of sweet sugar, and a bready yeast. Nicely sweet, incredibly drinkable and a slight buttery mouthfeel.
