Jun 29, 2009 My Bottom Line:
Generous honeyed cereals pleasantly lift leafy hops in this chewy and well-balanced Golden Ale.
Further Personal Perceptions:
-A veil of foam covers the hazy dark golden.
-The relaxed bubbling and well-rounded body make for a pleasant mouthfeel.
-The finishing hop bitterness is also earthy.
-The end result is clean and very drinkable, which was its main aim, I imagine.

Aug 14, 2008 12oz brown bottle from The Lighthouse in Manchester. Pours a slightly hazy straw-yellow body with a very thin film of off-white head that doesn’t stay long. Smells malty sweet and fruity, reminiscent of honey with a slight grassy hops. Tastes malty biscuity sweet at first, with a fair bit of fruitiness and a strong leafy-grassy hop presence toward the finish. The hops seem to add a grassy astringency to the beer, to a small extent, hurting the drinkability slightly. Otherwise a flavorful drinkable blonde, among the best I’ve had of the style and probably my favorite offering from this brewery.

Jun 25, 2008 Draught. Orangey-gold with small head. Fruity hop with orange predominant. Fresh grain. Immature orchard fruits and some undercooked elements. Lots of trees and leaves. Dash of salt. Thin. Alright.

Sep 6, 2007 Bottle courtesy bfeld. Pour was hazy golden-straw in color, white head, respectable size and decent lacing for the style. The aroma was wheaty, herbal hoppy. The flavor was herbal hoppy with a wheaty base, faint fruity esters, a bit of twang/bite in the finish, which was pretty clean. Not the most exciting style in the world, but for a light blonde ale, not bad.
