on tap-pours a thin white head and yellow/gold color. Aroma is grain. Taste is grain, light hops (saaz?). Good standard ale. OK carbonation.

Tap at San Marcos Brewing
Pale gold color, light head. Nose of faint malt and hops. The flavor is nicely floral, plenty of bitter hops and a clean finish. An all around solid golden ale where these usually are the my least favorite in a sampler.

Sample at the brewpub. Pours a clear yellow-gold color with a thin and fizzy white head that diminishes quickly. Spotty lacing. The aroma is mildly hoppy and malty. Light-bodied with a slightly spiced hops flavor as well as some bready malt. The finish is clean and lightly bitter hops with a lingering grainy malt aftertaste. Straightforward overall.

(22-ounce bottle, purchased at the brewery) Wow, after reading my notes for their California Pale Ale, I thought I was drinking the same beer, and perhaps this was a mislabeled bottle; However, this beer is a pale golden color and slightly hazy whereas my notes indicate the CPA was amber in color; But everything else about that beer is similar for this offering; Bready, toasty, earthy aromas lead into the beer nicely, for the flavors are the same; Very bready and toasty, mildly bitter, slightly sour; The sourness is apparently much less of an issue than in the CPA because I'm actually enjoying this bready, toasty flavors of this beer quite a bit; Much more malty and flavorful than the color predicts; Medium bodied, dry, clean and refreshing on the palate; The smallish off-white head was extremely short lived, quickly fading to a small ring, but there was some modest lacing on the glass to save the appearance from an embarrassing mark of 2; This really is a pretty good brew, and something I'd buy again next time I'm up at the San Marcos Brewery; Good "bonus" beer for trades too; Winner of my 9-beer golden/blonde ale tasting, knocking off Rogue, and blowing away the rest
