So many American brewpubs screw this one up, and make a golden ale. It’s like making an egg over easy and than you break the yolk and say well screw it I am having scrambled eggs. This had a hazy golden appearance with a small white head. A light bit of fruit jelly layed over a biscuit in the nose, with some nice grainy, albeit chewy maltiness, still remaining light with with some fruit in the finish. A nice take on the style.

Dec 7, 2009 On tap on saturday, just a taste. Poured a medium and clear amber color with a very large sized off white head. Aromas a bit floral, a little earthy, and light caramel. Tastes watery with some hints of caramel, and pine.

Oct 11, 2009 Sampled at GABF. Golden pour with white head. A bit grainy in the aroma. Flavor is kind of meh. I appreciate the gesture, but this isn’t really something I’m all that interested in.

Aug 25, 2009 Tap at the brewpub: Pale golden pour with a fading white head. Has a mild aroma of pale malt grains and nondescript esters. Has a crisp feel- a bit prickly. Mild flavor as well with apparent pale malt graininess and a very light grassy note in the finish. Quite simple but east to drink.

Jun 25, 2009 Draft at brewpub. Pours golden with a white head. Nose of biscuit and fruity esters, but you need to take a big whiff to get it. Light bodied but not watery. Flavor of pilsner malts with some subte sweet fruity and a slight tang. Clean finish. Nice example of the style.

Jun 12, 2009 Draft at the brewpub. poured a clear gold color with a thin white head on top. The nose was subdued overall with cereal grain, hay, and grass elements. Light bodied and delicately sweet. Honey and cereal grain flavors emerged along with a light noble hop note reminiscent of grape candy. Decent stuff.
