A full golden color with a slight bit of haze. It had an excellent head. It was a decent, malty golden ale, but I’d been hoping for something a little hoppier. I probably preferred the Coldfoot Pilsner from Silver Gulch. Easy-drinking ale.

Back to Alaska, and wow, this is an excellent beer. The taste is very hoppy, with a very fruity and fresh taste. Aroma is strong and pleasing. Re-rated from the tap at Pikes in Fairbanks. Not as good as I had hoped. Was watered down. I assume that Pike’s is to blame for that, but I am going to drop the rating by 0.1

Bottle. Pale amber color with small head. Aroma of fruits, hops, and malts. Very nice for its class. Smooth on the tongue and crisp finish. Good brew.

A bit of fruit in the taste. Crisp throughout and fresh tasting to the end. Nice golden color and favorable aroma.

bottle from the brickskeller (clearly at least several months old). Big floral hop aroma, pours a very slightly cloudy gol. flavor is excellent: sweet, good slightly fruity maltiness on the tongue, with a nice crisp finish. Will definitely be trying this again

(12 oz bottle) The brewery calls this a golden ale, but it can’t be because I really like this beer. Quite flavorful and dominated by a smooth, but rich pale maltiness, it’s also quite fruity and moderately sweet, but very lightly bitter. The nose is also dominated by the sweet aroma of a light malt. Very smooth and creamy palate, and naturally easy to drink. Golden orange in color and very hazy in appearance. The off-white head pours to an average size, and gradually settles to a full, unbroken film, leaving plenty of oddly-shaped patterns of lace, including one that looks like a squirrel sitting on its hind legs. Golden ale or pale ale, this is pretty solid for either style.

Thanks to Buck Dich for this one. Dark gold pour with medium, frothy white head. Aroma of malt, hopcit, some honey. Tastes malty, with some citrus, hops, and honey at the finish. Smooth and drinkable.

Out of the bottle this brew pours a nice amber, very clear, with a medium off-white head. Nice citrus hops in the aroma but a light dishsoap smell behind them. Taste starts with nice sweet malt backing finished off by fresh citrus hops, very floral and nice, with a mild bitterness to balance. This is a very crisp, easy drinking, smooth pale ale.
