I was sort of expecting to enter this beer in a Blonde Ale category, but then again I was expecting a different taste when I saw the name of this beer, and it fits better in the APA than the Blonde category.

Pours clear gold with a thin but lacy white head, Sweet toffee and grass aroma. Medium-light body and carbonation. Peachy toffee taste with a dry, earthy finish.
