pours with a full, frothy head. red/straw color, very clear. aroma=light malt, pretty estery, heavy on the floral/fruity side but balanced nicely with some piercing spice. palate = fuller than i expected. taste = tight bitterness, like an esb, slowly rounded by malt traces, which is given body by compote like fruitiness. all said a very well balanced and fairly complex pale ale.

Bottled. Hazy golden with a weak aroma. A mild flavour from toffee and saffron(?).

Truely a golden ale. Nice head. Not too much to the nose. The brew was sweet like honey, with a grainy linger. All in all, a good beer.

Bottle. This beer lacks flavor in my opinion as it tasted sweet, some light hops and it was very watery, bland and just plain boring. It poured a small sized creamy and smooth white head with fine-large sized bubbles that quickly diminished. The nose was lightly malty, sweet and some citrus notes. The mouthfeel was smooth, watery and thin making for a light bodied/textured beer. There was no lacing on the sides of my glass.

This bottled brew poured a medium sized head of foamy finely sized off-white colored mostly lasting bubbles that left behind a fair lace. The body was a slightly hazy transparent light brown color and was softly carbonated. The aroma was mildly malted and the mouth feel was very mild with only a slight tingle. The flavor was doughy and malty. An OK beer, but rather unimpressive.

Golden, ok head. Aroma from almond, malty and a little sweet. Flavor is sourish but also from sweet fruit. Some alcohol comes through in the finish.

Clear yellow gold with a light fizzy head, lightly sticky but dissipates quick and laces the glass well. The aroma is bland, watery, not there, etc. The flavor is a tad sweet but overall not bad, a little sweet with the malts but bland. Finishes crisp and light. I'll pass on this in the future.
