Mar 8, 2005 Light amber with a filmy head and small lace. Mellow malts and a lemony hop aroma. Sweet citrus. Bitter comes out leading to citrus and some spices. Good backing of malts. Bold for a golden, almost a pale. It finishes bitter and malty.

Nov 3, 2006 Oh man.. had to be an APA. I was gonna say that this was the best golden ale I’ve had. Oh well. Not sure it’s an APA either as I got German hops, but whatever. German hops, caramel, bread. Orangish color with a relatively heavy body for a golden ale, but whatever. One of those borderline styling beers.

Jul 23, 2008 Slightly roasted pale malt backbone with light, citrus hop presence. Nice golden color with a very small white head. Decent all-appealing pour.

Nov 30, 2003 Golden-orange in color. Very crisp, light and lively on the palate. Sweet - but light - malt base. Aromatic and flowery hops were nice. Mild bitterness in the clean and dry finish. Not overwhelming with flavor, but easy to drink.

Mar 21, 2006 LIght and citrusy with a light malty aroma, with some herbal hop grassiness. Just a hint of diacetyl is present, butterscotch biscuity maltiness, a decent body, and is a litttle bigger for the style, clean and easy to drink.

Jul 13, 2008 On tap at the Bend pub. This is the only golden ale I’ve ever had that I liked very much. I agree with Abusedgoat that it seems more like a pale ale at first. Pours cloudy yellow with not much aroma, but decent malt, soft hops, and easy, smooth finish.

Aug 12, 2005 On Tapat the brew pub. Pale golden color with a slight of white head. Pale modest maltiness with a matching weak hop profile. Drinkable but not particularly interesting.
