fordest (1684), Santee/San Diego, California, USA Sep 16, 2007 12 oz bottle picked up while on vacation to Oregon. Golden clear yellow with decent white head. Aromas were sweet malt with some lemon zest. Flavors were better with crisp malty flavors and a somewhat present hop flavor. Decent for a hot day. padrefan98 (602), (San Diego) Santee, California, USA Sep 16, 2007 12 oz bottle shared with fordest.

Pours a hazy dark golden color with one finger white, creamy head that settles rapidly. Little lacing but lively carbonation. Aroma is sweet malt, honey, fresh hay, hints of ripe fruit. Flavor is similar with the malty sweetness, caramel and honey notes coming through predominately. Light to medium-bodied with a light, sweet finish. argo0 (6176), Washington DC, USA Aug 5, 2008 (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. DA (2421), Portland, Oregon City, Oregon, USA Apr 23, 2007 Pours golden with a tall white head. Hops and malt sweetness balance well, slight grainy flavor to the malts, mild honey sweetness. Hops were grassy with light citrus note. Slightly watery on the palate, but I find that with most blond ales.
