Good stuff. I really like ale, but after 14 beers tonight, I have a hard time measuring.

I read the previous ratings before drinking this beer, and I thought it was going to be an average beer. When I actually drank it, I was pleasantly surprised. It was far better than what I had been reading. It had a nose that was malty and yeasty. It poured with a small head and little to no lacing. It had a nice sweet malty taste, with a nice hop finish. This would make a great session beer. I will definately buy this again and again and again.

nice lite colored head that stuck around for a while.Color was amber.Sweet malty tea aroma with a hint of lemon.Flavor was malty sweet with a lemon grass taste and a definate big hop presence.The carbonation is perfect rite where it should be.Theres a lemon,hop after taste that is slightly bitter but the pleasant kind that doesn't bite to hardthe finish is definately dry almost like sahara desert dry the only thing that hangs around is the hops,and ohhhh it's good definately a brew that is easy to drink in high volume not just 1 and i've had enough.

Bottled. Kind of surprised this does not score higher with the masses. This golden ale is hoppy and sweet. A very crisp ale.

While perhaps nothing particularly exciting, this is a very good basic ale, tasty, very drinkable, and always satisfying. It has a decent but bubbly, dissipating head on a gold body. The aroma is pleasant malt and hint of hops, but hard to pinpoint specific flavours, which to me is good in a beer like this. The taste has good flavour of malt and hops, with a great balance of sweetness and bitterness with a fairly crisp finish and nice lingering flavour. The palate is smooth before the nice, crisp finish and its a good, satisfying, very drinkable basic ale.

Hops were most noticeable in aroma and aftertaste. Also a certain woody/meaty presence noticed in the aroma Bit of a tawny tinge to the amber color, but it’s still a little remiscent of lesser brews. Great balance between the initial sweetness and the hoppy aftertaste and great body for an ale. A great American ale.

Very nice, drinkable, smooth Ale. Somewhat hoppy and I like it as an occassional alternative to an IPA.
