Commercial Description:
Our Old Faithful Ale is a pale golden ale with a crisp body and light malt sweetness. We cold-conditioned this ale to give it a pleasantly smooth character and dry palate. The Willamette and imported UK Goldings hops give this beer a light floral hop aroma making it exceptionally easy to drink.

Pours a light golden yellow. Aromas of light malts and grains with a hint of hops. Light, crisp malty flavor with a nice ending hop.

Darkish yellow gold, with a very thin, sloppy head. Grainy, slightly sweetish aroma. Decently sweet flavor, with a veggie, medicinal quality, plus some, I don’t know, juniper, maybe? Thaks to Indiana Red for the trade!

Bottle: Light golden, vibrant clear, moderate white frothy head, spotty lacing, light carbonation.   Very subtle band-aid nose, mild malts.   Doesn’t smell promising.   Yep, quite a bit of band-aid on the tongue... blech.   With this light of an ale, not much can be detected after the band-aid.   No packaging date to speak of.   Body and mouthfeel are moderate.   Finishes with less band-aid, luckily, semi-sweet, but all malt.   The hop portion of this beer is very minimal to non-existant.   Not one I plan on having again.   Thanks Ken!

Bottle. Clear amber beer with a nice off-white head. Malty aroma with some light citrus. Malt flavor with some orange and a bit of crystal. Refreshing and easy to drink.

Bottle: Courtesy of Indiana_Red via trade. Aroma is sweet with some fruitiness (orange and apple) and light floral hops. Pours a mostly transparent gold (slight haze) with a small white head. Flavor is mostly sweet with some apple and orange fruitiness. Hops are very light in the finish with some flowers and extremely light pine. Orange flavor increases slightly in the finish. Very easy drinking and quite refreshing. I’m not big on the "A great beer for a hot summers day" ratings, but that actually describes this beer perfectly.

12oz bottle obtained in a trade with Indiana_Red - Thanks Ken! - Pours golden with a small white head that dissipates quickly. Aroma is floral with some sweetness, peaches. Flavor is grainy sweet with just a touch of that peach/apricot flavor coming through, a touch of yeast and a slightly floral hop finish. On the palate this is clean and crisp and very easy drinking. Pretty good on a summer day.

Golden color with a frothy white head. Grainy malts and hints of apricots in the aroma. Fairly crisp, light sweetness and a touch of taosted malts. Light flowery hops in the finish.

Wyoming Brewers Festival, ’05: Orangey and hazy; nice, frothy head. Chalky malts, with notes of bread dough and dry crackers. Earthy flowers; OK bitterness level. Teasing elements of fruit. Lightish body, but with a chewy-sweet base.
