Utica, New York USA

(12oz bottle) Large off-white head atop hazy apple juice body. Aroma is medium sweet, peach, light bread/grain, orange/lemon. Taste is medium sweet, peach, lemon/orange, light bread. Light-medium body, light creaminess.

(Bottle) Pours a clear pale yellow body with a small creamy egg-white head. Aroma of grass, florals, and earthiness. Flavor of lemon, grass, some soapiness, floral hops, and buttered biscuits.

Bottle... Mostly clear, light golden ale with a small, frothy, white head. Decent retention. Loads of biscuit malt in the aroma. Medium-bodied with modest carbonation. Balanced, but boring. A little metallic bitterness. Inoffensive. Crisp finish.

Pours gold with a thin white head. Smells and tastes fruity and dry with a hint of peppr on the finish.

Bottle: Yay, another Fred Meyer special. Golden blond color, fairly retentive white head. Nose of faint husky malt, some light crispy hop. Fairly thin and papery with enough malt when warmed to get a light toast or honey note. The flavor is a bit sweet with lacking bitterness. I could call this a golden ale. Not that great, but it certainly fits the bill.

Very light hop, pretty light malt. Orange tinted gold color with an off-white head that froths. It even laces a bit. Medium bodied. Starts with a light citrus, accompanied by just enough malt to balance. Not all that bad, but not all that wonderful.

Bottled. Poured slightly hazy medium golden with a short, fizzy cap of white head.. some sediment floating around in there. The aroma picked up lemon zest, honey, and corn with light floral accents.. decent, but nothing really good going on. The flavor was about the same with more fruit going on.. lemon, honey, and light fruits at the core with dry, scratchy grass bitterness.. touch of sour light fruit skins on the finish. Light-bodied with higher carbonation on the palate.. just felt OK.. not a lotta good going on overall.

This bottled brew from a bottle shop poured a small sized head of foamy white colored bubbles that were mostly lasting and left behind a transparent strong bubbly carbonation dark orange brown colored body and a poor lacing. The weak aroma was malty. The mouth feel was tingly at the start and at the finish with a biting hoppy aftertaste. The flavor contained notes of acidic malt and hops.
