I was disappointed with this Golden Ale from a great brewery. Nothing to write home about. Average taste, aroma. I don’t regret trying a beer I haven’t tasted before from a company that produces other beers I like a lot. Pass on this one though.

Clean and steril aroma with light gold appearance. This tastes like your typical gold ale, very light. Same old.

A golden ale with a thin white head. A lightly sweet malt aroma with light nail varnish notes. In mouth, a light crips malt with light german hops, cloying sweet notes. On tap at BBC DEN, August 28 2009.

Appearance: Pours out a brilliant, light orange body with a small, though bubbly, white head. Smell: Basic, sweetish cereal malts with light background floral notes and, well, that’s pretty much all she wrote. It’s one of those exasperating aromas where you swirl and swirl and let it warm and swirl some more and it never provides anything new or interesting beyond the original ho-hum scent. Taste: A sweet taste of steeped grains with a vague hint of simple honey. Floral hops with a minimal hint of citrus provides no more than a mild bitterness. Finishes semi-dry, fairly brief, and with some lingering dull floral notes. Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium carbonation. Drinkability: Whenever they boldly, unabashedly throw up a term like "PREMIUM", you know you’re in for something real special. In truth, it’s one of those golden/blonde ales that shamelessly leans towards being bland and lifeless. A "stampede of flavor," huh? More like it slowly shuffles along the palette like the grim line at the DMV.

On tap. Pours a coppery gold with a two fingered white head that dissipates slowly and leaves little to no lacing. Smell of sweet honey and caramel. A very sweet flavor of honey and caramel, with some bittering hops. Full bodied, well-balanced, malt dominated, with dry finish.

Pours a nice golden color with a white head. Aroma honey, vanilla, and some floral notes. Flavor is honey, vanilla, and a light floral bitter finish.

Great day beer. Overall unimpressive but a great CU beer and a beer that has a place in the heart of Boulder. As a beer alone, not even really worth talking about
