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

I am going to bump this one up. As far as Golden Ales go, this one is one of my favorites. The aroma and nose are very fruity, with lots of grassy notes. Lots of aroma (of course this is a very fresh batch on tap.)

Pours a hazy gold color, with wonderfully nice white frothy head. Aroma is pine, slight hops, floral. Light but very pleasant, good amount of hops that goldens usually don’t have. Pretty floral, with honey, and orange blossum. A golden that I really enjoy.

Bottle. A hazy golden orange color with a frothy white head. Quite a strong grassy hop presence for a "Blond Ale." Juiced up on hops, this is quite an enjoyable beer for the style. Light, smooth and refreshing body and flavor.

Great beer for the intent of being a golden/blond ale. Refreshing and hoppy. In fact, it was surprisningly hoppy for such a light beer. Piney hops. Great for the beach.

650 ml bottle from Bevmo. Hazy yellow with a foamy white head. Pleasant honey aroma. Good honey and flowery taste with some hops showing through in the finish. Decent overall.

In the bomber bottle from HyVee CB. Pours a cloudy, yeast chunky deep overnight pee gold. Has an incredibly thick as a brick white concrete head. This has a very solid yeasty and bready aroma. I really love this beer because it tastes just like many homebrewed golden ales that I have made. It is thick and has lots of lemon-yeast flavors at the finish. Plenty of hop presence without seeming bitter at all. Just a great homestyle beer.
