Jan 14, 2009 Bottle shared with Barrios at Woody’s. Pours a near opaque mustard yellow with fair ring of white head. Nose is very clean with just a hint of vanilla peeking through. Flavor is a little corny, with a honey note and a slight metallic astringency on the finish. Don’t know how old the bottle was, but this was just fine for an easy drinking bud substitute.

Dec 20, 2008 Cloudy Gold. Fast, creamy head. Mild caramel, malt aroma. Flavor: Fruits, malt, cardboard. Dry finish. Not great.
Overrated.

Nov 30, 2008 12 oz, bb 010308. Clear topaz with a creamy half-inch head that frosts the whole glass. Faint aroma of citrus and honey. Flavor is the same, plus some tart apple and berry, then some lemon grass on the finish. Near-medium body is smooth, dry, and lightly tingly. Very drinkable; looks like from the ratings here everyone should try to find the aged, past-bb date bottle like I stumbled into.

Nov 27, 2008 Nasty golden urine colored pour with an unattractive floral aroma with some sort of herbal backdrop. Surpising amount of hops for the style, but everything else about the flavor is a mess. Weird bite and aftertaste to this one, hard to define. MIld honey flavor, but not enough to live up to the name.

Nov 27, 2008 Bottle. Pours pale gold with soapy white head. The aroma is floral and herbal with some dusty malt notes and a sweet touch. The flavor is moderate herbaceous hops and a sweet-ish malty backbone that does indeed resemble honey, especially in the finish. Alright, I guess, but it comes across as a regular uninspiring golden ale.

Nov 20, 2008 Clear golden color with a finger of ghost white head with modest thin sticky lacing and good retention. Aroma is biting, cheap honey and pale malt, some light metallic tinges. Taste is almost skunked pils like, pale malt, sour honey, light hop bitterness.

Nov 20, 2008 12oz bottle. Yellow color with a white head. Grainy aroma with a touch of floral honey and maybe some hops. Very light and lagerish flavor, dry for the most part, without much honey character. Almost no hop flavor and low bitterness. Tastes like a run of the mill golden ale, hardly an APA, and almost a bland pils. Not bad, and would be perfectly drinkable if it weren’t for the bore factor bringing it down.
