| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 16, 2007 From the beer of the month club. 12 oz. Bottle. Pours a clear golden color with a thin white head and thick soapy lacing. Nice grain and grass nose. The flavor has a sweet grain profile balanced by a smooth hop bitterness. Well made beer, but nothing sticks out about it either. thomasacross (129), Edina, Minnesota, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 15, 2007 Bottle. A nice golden color. Slight aroma is pleasing -- smells of grain and slight fruitiness. Really a well done beer -- sort of a compromise between the typical super-bitter American pale ale and the macrobrews. Would not say it was sweet or malty per se -- just very restrained bitterness. Mouthfeel is great -- has a flat, liquid texture similar to the British bitters. Enjoyed it! Would buy again. jeremytoni (1114), Swedesboro, New Jersey, USA

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Mar 7, 2007 12 oz. bottle from beer of the month club. Pours clear gold with just a skim of head present. Surprisingly left some lace behind. Light wheaty nose with some sweet malt. Crisp finish. Would be a nice beer on a hot summer day. SmellGood (319), Memphis, Tennessee, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Mar 3, 2007 A bad aroma led to a bad aftertaste. I will offer help for those suffering from this golden ale. Derek881 (500), Frederick, Maryland, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 26, 2007 A good, proud, Baltimore brew. Pours an amber-gold color, that is couldy with a small, white, foamy head that did not last long. The aroma was small caramel malts and some floral touches, with a grainy to piney hop character that had a slight kick. The taste was wet, mostly sour and some bitter flavors, with a wet and slightly oily moutfeel. It had medium carbonation levels and was somewhat fizzy. natejgood (190), Denver, Colorado, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Feb 23, 2007 As the name suggests this beer pours a nice golden color, a little bit like Budweiser with, but a bit darker. It actually has a pretty long lasting head for such a light beer. This beer has a light, sweet, hoppy smell. I can’t say the taste of this beer is anything special. It tastes like a run of the mill light ale or lager. Overall, this beer doesn’t have a ton to offer. I prefer a beer with a little bit more body and flovor.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 20, 2007 Sparkling - dark golden to light orange with a quickly fading white head. Pleasant faint fruity aroma with hints of green grapes. Hint of citrus in the flavor with subtle bittersweet undertones. Also detect some nectarines and a minty finish. Mouthfeel is clean and crisp. Thanks to Aurelius for saving this out of his Ale-in-the-Mail shipment.
