Oct 13, 2008 Bottled. Poured slightly hazy medium golden with a short-lived cap of white head. The aroma picked up lighter fruits, pale malts, and a hint of honey in the sweet department with pineapple and floral accents.. the pineapple was quite memorable, and built up as this warmed. The flavor also had a bunch of pineapple, both in sweetness and in bitterness.. primarily pale malts at the core.. long, lingering bitterness on the finish.. tasty. Light-medium bodied with lively carbonation on the palate.. engaging mouthfeel and refreshing bitterness at the finish. Very good stuff!

Sep 22, 2008 Bottle. This is dissimilar to any other golden ale I’ve ever had. Poured a clear gold with a small white head. Aroma was lacking a little. Main notes were of bread and yeast. Flavor was floral and fruity. Very complex, drinkable beer. Love it.

Sep 21, 2008 Bottle in Boston. Seriously, this is a golden ale? There’s a lot going on here and I did not expect the complexity. Very fruity and spicy and totally refreshing. My first HOTD brew and I liked it. Exceptional for the style.
