Commercial Description:
Fleur-de-lis Restoration Ale is made with English Pale, Lager, Crystal and Cara Pils malted barley. We liberally hopped and dry hopped our Ale with American Cascade and Centennial hops and fermented it with California Ale yeast. The result is a brilliant gold ale with a rich body, mild bitterness and a snappy fresh citrus hop flavor and aroma.

From notes 1/07. Pours a very slightly hazed golden brown. Nose is orange, hoppy, and just generally citric in nature. Flavor is tart and bitter with an almost lemon-like edge. Seems a bit thinner than it could be. Feel is okay. Like I said, a little thin, but it has a nice bubble on it. Drinkable, sure. Just no homerun here.

From the Beer of the Month Club. 12 oz. Bottle. Pours a clear light copper with a fluffy white head and soapy lacing. It has aroma of floral hops and sweet malt. Flavor is balance with a good malt profile with floral and citus hops. It finishes crisp and clean with a pleasing mouthfeel. Not great but a nice drinkable beer none the less.

Nice looking in the glass, solid, tan, high standing head towering above the golden tawny body. Light malt flavor with a little yeast and pear ester. Slight hop bitterness with no real hop flavor. Kind of grainy, but very slight. Very refreshing but nothing spectacular - not much flavor althogether.

Pretty good golden ale. Pours a golden copper with a foamy white head. Aroma of malt, spicy cascade hops and yeast. Taste is nice, malty and doughy, aftertaste is something like a saltine cracker. Refreshing, not too strong. Easy drinking ale. Best of luck to New Orleans.

Pours a golden color with a small white head. Nice lacing. Disappointing flavor is of soap. Kind of hard to get past that. A dry bitterness is not a pleasant one, either. My rating is so far below all others that perhaps my bottle was bad.

Found this one bottled in South Elgin, Illinois. Bright amber pour with a dainty off-white head, a bit of citrusy malts in the nose but this is really quite balanced. Nice strong finish. A good example of the style.

Bottle. Smell is a bit of cascade hops with a hint of malt. Slight white head and amber in color. Nice fruity/citrus hops flavor, with a bit of malt that turns a bit more bitter and dry. Medium body with good carbonation. Overall, nice. Not amazing, but a nice solid ale, esp if you like cascade hops.

Golden color with small lacing type head. Aroma was of malt with some metallic notes. Malty with light sweetness and light hop profile. Faint sweetness in the finish.
