Nice light pale ale. Sweet and toasty malts with a nice citric balance.

Aroma is citrusy with some tangerine. Pours a nice copper brown. Surprisingly flavourful and hoppy. Some malt character and a refreshing finish. A pleasant surprise.

Pleasant enough to drink large quantities hanging by the pool (not that I did...). Enough malt and hops play to realize it ain’t a macrobeer, but nothing else to make you jump up and down about.

Bottled. Pours muddy amber with a small off white head. Aroma is dry bread malt. Flavor is a bit citrus and spice. Medium/thin body. Very plain.

Thanks to my SecretSanta Degarth for sending this my way. Light amber body with a thin, quickly diminishing white head. Malty aroma, some light sugar sweetness and maybe a light fruit. Somewhat caramel based taste, very light hops. Sweet, unoffensive ending.

Bottle. Aromas of straw and grass predominate, but there is definitely a vinegar smell in the background. head is fizzy, white with no lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is sparkling clear light copper. Flavor is acidic start to finish with a sourness upfront and lightly bitter in the finish. Palate is light, watery and has a fizzy carbonation. It finishes fairly dry. Semi-refreshing but the tart aspect drops the the rating off somewhat.

From a bottle I brought home with me from North Miami Beach recently. Poured with an off-white to tan head and no lace. Aroma is at first dark ripe fruits, apricots, and a hint of cherry along with a bit of malt and hops. Shortly after that the aroma is strongly caramel malt. Flavor is similar but more pronounced malt and bittering hops. Body’s not bad, perhaps a tad over carbonated. Ok beer. Forgetable finish. Could do worse. One of the best beers I’ve had from down there so far.

Bottle: Medium-dark golden/amber. Aroma was lightly sweet with malt and a hint of hops. Flavor was malt and light bodied. This tasted absolutely nothing like a golden or blonde ale. Not a horrible beer but perhaps a style change is in order? I agree with nearbeer. This is an amber.
