It taste like a Belgian Golden Ale with extra hops. It is light and refreshing with a spicy/pepperly finish. There are hints of pineapple and other fruit along with a mild to moderate bitternes in the dry finish. This beer is yellow-colored, clear, and has a thin, white, ring-like crown. Respectable, but not one of my favorite styles.
Sample (draught) at the Snow Goose Restaurant/Sleeping Lady Brewing Company in Anchorage, Alaska. Rating #2 for this beer.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jun 24, 2009 On tap @ Humpy’s. Very mild aroma, mostly earthy, yeasty scents and a faint fruity hop aroma. Golden with a white head. The flavor is a bit sour with a sweet malt base, hints of bitterness. Crisp mouth feel, actively carbonated and medium bodied. Overall a solid beer, if I blind tasted it I would have thought it was a Belgian Golden Ale, the hops were there just not IPA strength.
