Draft at the High Life in Seattle.

Pours a light sandy gold, white head. Crisp, cracker grains, very nice snap of metallic hop bitterness in the close. No sweet malts pander to the tastebuds, by no means does it take the strategy of hopping at pale ale levels either. It’s just a good golden ale. I I picked this one up after a long summer’s day hiking, and it really hit the spot. Very nice. I’m pleased to see west-coast breweries experimenting with the style. Low gravity ales: the next frontier!

draft @ brewery - pure gold and crystal clear; as with all their brews, this had a somewhat thick head and lots of lacing; drinks grainy and smooth with some minor sweetness and spice; medium body with a nice finish; decent for the style

On tap at DK. Pours, um, golden with a thin white head. Soft, sweet citrus notes in the nose and taste, along with a bit of toast. Super-duper sessionable.

On tap at the brewpub. Pours as the name suggests, a clear deep golden color with bright white head. The aroma is pale malts mixed with a grainy breadiness. I’m not sure if it is to style but it smells good. The taste is much like the aroma with pale and grainy malts mixed with a pulse of sweeter malts. There’s a mild spice hoppiness in there too. It ends a bit thin and watery.
