Nov 22, 2005 Bottle, from the shack of a fish restaurant across from the Keystone ferry terminal
Bright golden colour. Light malt-accented aroma with shades of hop. Pretty bland stuff. Flavour shows a bit of pale malt, but this doesn’t make much of an impression. When will brewers grasp that just because an ale is golden doesn’t mean it has to suck?

Nov 27, 2008 Gold pour with a thin head. that lasted for a while. Light fruity aroma with some nice citrus notes. Light grainy malts with more fruity hops that add a crisp bitterness. A nice golden ale.

Aug 10, 2007 Bottle from Safeway, Port Angeles; nose is grassy hops, grain, with a little honey sweetness; Gold with a big white, longlasting head; flavor is sweet and a little wheaty; with a little tiny bit of hop bitterness. Would be a good lawnmower beer so you didn’t have to drink Bud, Miller, or Coors!

Aug 25, 2004 Bottle pours golden, miniscule to zero head, very light carbonation, with virtually no carbonation. Slight aroma of sweet malts, but very subtle. Flavor too is very subtle, sweet malts, slight grass & grain. Mouthfeel and body are a bit thin. Lack of carbonation really detracts from this beer. Finish is suprisingly smooth and crisp tho. A step or two below your average Golden Ale because of its lack of liveyness.
