Bouteille de 22 oz achetée chez Canaan Superette (Canaan, ME). Arôme: Odeur de popcorn au beurre qui cache tout le reste. Apparence: La couleur est blonde légèrement voilée. Présence d’un mince col mousseux et d’une fine dentelle sur le verre. Saveur: Goût de céréales avec une pointe de beurre. Durée moyenne de l’arrière goût. Palette: Le corps est moyen avec une texture huileuse. Faible effervescence en bouche. Légère présence de céréales en arrière goût. (Rating #2747)

My Bottom Line:
This crisp Golden Ale’s citrusy fruitiness and pleasant wooden hop bitterness are bothered by overeager diacetyl, making me shy away from what would have been a very drinkable example of the style.

Further Personal Perceptions:
-A veil of foam covers the misty yellow. This is a successful presentation.
-The buttered popcorn component is present throughout. A real shame.
-The body is lean and the bubbling quite tight, making an engaging mouthfeel for sessioning.
-Malts are somewhat pleasant, but their flavors are mostly covered in that vile diacetyl.

Bottle.

Keg. Pours a burnt orange color with small white head. Nose is grainy with light honey essences. Palate is thin to medium. Flavor is lightly sweet honey with some graininess and a bit of biscuit.

Crisp, pilsner-like golden ale with light bitterness that could be a decent session beer.

Bottle Poured into my pint glass produced a fingers worth of head that turns to a ring of lace. The body of this brew is cloudy pale yellow in color Aromas of light hops and bread filled my nose Flavors are nice and light great summer ale, it starts of with sweet malts and finished with a light hop bitter light in the mouthfeel good carbonation on the tongue Very drinkable light and crisp great for a hot summer night a good session brew

This is the kind of beer you enjoy on a hot summer day, a beer you drink as opposed to sip. It is lite compared to most other micro brews. There is a nice balance to this beer. Give it a try and see what I’m talking about.

22oz bomber from Lou’s. Amber-yellow body with a half inch of white head that dissipates rather quickly. Smells caramel malty with hints of hops and diacetyl. Tastes like caramel malt with a good balance of hops (English I think) and just a hint of citrus. Flavor is a bit lighter than expected, but rather pleasing. Lighter mouthfeel makes this a very drinkable and refreshing beer. Not what I’d expect from an APA, but a really good beer IMO, and at 2.29$, for a bomber, it’s a great deal!
