Slightly hazy golden pour with a medium head. Slightly hoppy, slightly malty, well balanced. A little sour and grassy but that follows the style - not my favorite HOTD beer but not bad.

Bottle. Lemon-drop yellow color. Massive head and explosion of the bottle cost me 2/3 of the contents. Sour apple, spiled fruit scent. Complex taste; split tongue and back of the throat. Made my nose stuff up!

Bottle: Dusty golden pour with a small white head that doesn’t hang around long. Nose of citrus and malt, not overly strong. Taste is very mild with malt tones, a bit grassey, and more citrus. Very light hop bitters. A good rendition of the blonde ale.

Bottle courtesy of IrishBoy. Poured a cloudy amber with just a wisp of a head. The aroma found light fruits, orange, and bread. The flavor had a citrus touch to it with also some light spices and malts. Light body and a sweet aftertaste. Nice!

Bottle. Poured a hazy golden body with very thin head and little carbonation. Aroma is of a sweet malty nature but i can’t pinpoint what though. Flavor is sweet and very smooth. The flavor is not strong in the profile but still a good ale.

Pours a hazy peach gold with a thin cap of foam. No head retention, no lacing. Mild fruity malt aroma. Nothing special so far. More malt in the flavor - biscuit and a wee bit of caramel. A touch of orange, lemon, and spicy hops in the finish. Light to medium body, scant carbonation. It took me many days to finish six of these. Not a bad beer by any means, just not very interesting.

This should go down as one of the classic beers i the USA> It has a great appearance and just a perfectly complex flavor that really grows as you drink it. Try this as it is a winner!

I swear I’m not trying to rip anyone off, I’m just giving credit...a ton of credit to the previous post of iowaherkeye. This beer is flower petals and pine sol. I had to laugh when I read that, because that is exactly what this beer taste like. I would advise that you avoid this beer.
