Bottle. A golden color with a laced white head. An earthy grain aroma with vegetable and floral elements. A bland grain flavor that offers little.

Bottled Hazy, light amber colored brew that poured an average sized frothy off-white head which fell after a few minutes to a thin layer; very little lacing. Moderately malty aroma with some green apple. Flavor started with a delicate maltiness; some fruitiness emerged at mid-palate with a fleeting toastiness toward the finish. Gentle hop bitterness evident throughout. Light bodied with a watery texture and soft carbonation. A servicable session ale, drinkable and refreshing enough but it’s overall character seemed a bit languid; the flavors came and went without much impact.

Bottled: LIght golden. Clear. White dense head. Lasting. Malty aroma. Not much else going on in the nose. Malty and light hoppy flavour. Is very light bitter in the end. Boring beer.

07.09.04 .5L bottle. Hazy, dirty bronze color with small, quickly fading, white head. Lots of visible carbonation. Aromas are malty and perfumey, bready. Dry body from front to back. Bitter, citrus, grassy. Finish is quick, herbal, honey, and astringent. Interesting, but not altogether great.

Pours a dusty gold with a miniscule fleecy head and almost no carbonation. Weird aromas of butterscotch, hand lotion, and ragweed. Flavor is not-quite-butterscotch, metallic, chalky, paper, and composting grass clippings. Definitely oxidized, possibly lightstruck. Flabby and lightly oily mouthfeel. Muddy and grainy aftertaste. I never thought beer could taste like an armpit, but I was wrong.

Mild and fruity. Golden and a normal head. Not much aroma, but it’s mild and fine. Flavor is mild too. Nice and bouring.

Bottled. Extremely malty bready aroma to this golden ale. The flavour is also predominantly malt and is quite dry. A drinkable beer.
