 ROGUE (621), Newark, Delaware, USA
Nov 7, 2009 12oz bottle. Poured a clear golden yellow with a nice white head.
Smell of citrus hops and malt. Slight malt flavor with the right balance of hops to dry it up making for a very clean and crisp finish.

Oct 12, 2009 Sampled on tap at Blue Point in Patchogue. Admittedly I tried this the 2nd weekend of October. Pours a clear gold with zero head. Great. Aroma is grassy with some hay and some sweetness. Flavor is a bit off, almost stale, sweet but flat. Finish is watery. Forgettable and bordering on hard to drink. This might have been great on June 1st, but on October 10th this was fatally flawed.

Aug 31, 2009 Enjoyed this on tap just outisde of the town of Beth Page, NY. This brew as very drinkable and flavorful. The beer was very quenching. An exceptional beer from Blue Point.

Aug 31, 2009 Draught sample. Pours gold with a white head. Smells of sweet caramel malt, some light citrussy hints. Tastes of citrus, caramel, grassy, some perfumy hints on the finish.

Aug 26, 2009 How does something taste "golden"? Questions aside, this 12 oz. bottle pours a thin, golden color with a thin, filmy head. Aroma of sweet wheat and something mildly fruity-sweet...honeysuckle-ish or apricot-ty? Simple in taste with lemony front palate, bread-like middle and faint hops finish. A drinkable and pleasant-enough beer that would be an easy introduction (albeit not exactly ’good’) to craft brews. Thin body and not much to write home about. I happened to be drinking this while eating orzo pasta salad, and it was totally overpowered by the salad’s flavor. A few steps above a Corona on a hot summer day.

Jul 25, 2009 Golden clear body with a billowy white head, soft aroma, but not much snap in the flavor, inadequate tartness for me, but a clean finish.
Elwood (665), Leesburg, Virginia, USA
Jul 25, 2009 12 oz. bottle. Pours a nice gold color with a sizeable pillowy white head. Light floral and perfume notes with touches of grass and grain in the nose. Medium-high carbonation with a light mouthfeel. A little lemon note greets me with my first sip. It has some dry character, a light wheat note, and a little grainy sweetness. You could session this one all day, but it is a little light in the flavor department. A great lawnmower beer.

does not count  Jul 18, 2009 A pretty boring nondescript beer. Very bland taste from the bottle. Not worth the price. Much better Summer Ales are available.
