Sep 19, 2007 Aroma is a nice sweet malt scent with good hop tones and a slight fruit scent. Color is a hazy gold with good carbonation and tight white head. Taste is sweet, smooth and mildly hoppy. Starting with a medium body it goes down with a smooth, creamy feel and a sweet flavor coming on. Finish comes in with a sweet malt flavor that is back with a bitter bite and ends with a bold alcohol feel. In the after taste it leaves you warm with a nice lingering bitterness. This is a tasty brewand I like it, but its no Belgian Ale. There is no Belgian yeast fruity flavor and the alcohol is way to strong.

Sep 18, 2007 Jimmack Invitational 07- shared by Eyedrinkale. Golden in color. Aroma is sweet plae malts with muted fruit, and belgian yeast. Taste is the same, this beer seemed too mild for a belgian, not much complexity going on.

Sep 14, 2007 Bottle in trade from Jake I think. Well it is a straw colored beer just like they say. The problem is that they shouldhave actually done something special vs try to do something special. This beer misses the mark completely as a BSA. Are you kidding me? Why do all these brewers put some kind of stupid proclamation out and then fill the bottles witha sub-par product??

8/20/2007: Deschutes 19th Anniversary Golden Ale pours a sparkling golden yellow color with a diminishing white head that is actually audible as it fizzes away. The strong aroma is comprised of sweet tropical fruits and some light yeast and spice. The flavor is also somewhat strong. Its pale maltiness is accompanied by some fruity malt (apple and a hint of orange) and is delicately sweet up front. There is a nice bitterness and peppery quality in the finish that adds a bit of flare, but isn’t overwhelming. This beer has a medium body and ample carbonation. All in all it is a pretty good Strong Golden Ale.
1 pint, 6 fluid ounce bottle (8.7% Alc. By Vol. / 60 IBUs) purchased from the general store in Glacier, Washington (only $4.59) and enjoyed at The Inn At Mount Baker. Rating #56 for this beer...

Sep 7, 2007 Hazy golden body with minimal head. Aroma is malty, bready with a touch of spruce hops. Smooth, slightly sweet with a nice malty backbone. Enjoyable throughout as it it warms and becomes slightly sweet with an orange tinge.

Sep 2, 2007 Bottle: Golden in color, fairly clear, moderate frothy white head, dies somewhat quickly, spotty lacing, very little carbonation.
Musty basement, pale malts, straw/hay, and slight bubblegum on the nose. Mealy on the tongue, bready, with a heavy Pilsener like
quality. Rounding out the backside with quite a bit of straw/hay. Nose was somewhat Belgianesque, but didn’t come across that
way on the tongue. Body and mouthfeel are fairly moderate. When I think Belgian, I think more funk. This one just wasn’t
funky enough. Not bad, but overall not that interesting either.

Aug 31, 2007 Aroma was belgian earthiness with a light maltiness to it. Flavor was really smooth for being 9% but it had some weird candiness to it. Not a bad golden but just was not all that original.
