on a day of sampling this one was my favorite, nice light golden color. nice citrus undertones that work with the sweet ale.

Draft. Unfiltered golden color with a white head. Toasted malt aroma with some citrus notes. Light malt character with a metallic, grapefruit character. Very hop forward.

22 oz bottle acquired in trade with DarkElf (thanks!). Bottle opened to an audible pop and some head creeping out (but not a gusher). Poured a medium and cloudy golden color with a huge sized white head. Some floaters. Aromas of citrus, yeast and on the bready side. Tastes of citrus, grass, bread and some sweet malts. Body on the thin side. This is by far the best smelling and tasting Golden Ales that I’ve tasted of late (I think I’ll actually finish this one).

Yellow gold with a towering white rocky head. Doughy malt with spritely Cascade family hop aromatics. Clean malt profile, with some floral and bitter hop characteristics. Grainy finish. Mouthfeel is is light and clean.

Bottle poured a hazy golden with a white head. Aromas of light citrus and biscuits. Palate is smooth and refreshing. Flavors of citrus, a little grassiness, and biscuits. A good summertime session beer.

Bomber. Pours a cloudy golden color. Tart hoppy aroma. A little fruity. Flavor is somewhat hoppy, but seems like it a little watered down. Kind of a malty/grainy finish.

Somewhat overcarbonated and plain Golden ale. Foams on the palate that takes away from the flavor profile. Some mild floral and citus notes in the nose. Finish dissipate in a cloud of C02.
