Commercial Description:
This English-style Summer Ale has a bright golden color as the name indicates. Cascade hops impart a floral aroma that is accented by citrus notes lent from Chinook hops. The hop flavors mingle with with premium pale malted barley to create a flavorful ale that is crisp and refreshing.

This is a wonderful beer that beautifully balances refreshing, crisp lightness and smoothness with great taste, body, and both malt and hop character. It is a golden amber with a good-sized, dense off-white head that lasts forever, only slowly shrinking, and leaving some good lacing. The aroma is light but extremely pleasant, honey, lightly toasted grain, pine and citrus. The taste from start through the long finish has wonderful sweet-bitter balance, elements of toffee, grain, honey, grapefruit and lemon. The palate is smooth but still lightly crisp at the end. In the end, this beer is outstanding for the balance it achieves between lightness, body, and flavour blending the lightness of a good, crisp pale lager with the flavour and body of a malty-hoppy ale.

Golden in color. Head was great for a filtered beer...nice white lace. Very nice aroma of hops but not too overpowering. As I drink this wonderful brew I loved the crisp balance between hops and malt...the malt is perfect for this pale. I couln’t say more about the palate other that the fact it is perfecto. One of the best pales I have ever had.

On tap and got a growler as well. Go with me on this, this si a great beer for BBQ, Swimming parties or any other slick summer activity. Very light but great flavors in malt and hops, very piney/citrus/bitter. This beer is very sofisticated despite its light characteristics. COULD DRINK ALL DAY!

pours with fine wite head and golden clear hue. This is a beautiful everyday drinker. I love pale ales and this is a standard of mine. Spicy malt gives way to a nice cascade hop bite. I highly recommend this for anyone who has not had it. Just grap a clean pint glass and enjoy
