Commercial Description:
Not for the hopophobic! This medium-bodied, slightly fruity golden ale was inspired by West Coast hop-heads. Big floral nose with plenty of hoppy dryness on the finish.

Poured a hazy golden color with a white head. Citrusy aroma of tangerines and grapefruits. Fresh grapefruit juice flavor. Moderately bitter finish. Grapefruit rind bitterness. Light to medium bodied.

On tap poured a clear golden color with a good lasting white head. Aroma was mostly citrus hops with a hint of malt sweetness. Taste had a brilliant hop presents with a good balance and small alcohol notes. Overall a great pale ale but not much of a blonde.

Clear golden appearance. Lemony hop aroma. Light palate, mild in body, strong citrussy grapefruit hop bite that takes over. Interesting twist on the golden style. Also tasted the cask version that displays the grapefruit citrus just as well but the smoothness and warmth lessens the harshness a little allowing a little balance from the malt.

Straw clored brew with a fluffy white head. Reminds me a little of AVBC Poleeko Gold.More of floral hop bite. Finishes with an herbal bitterness.

Gold color with medium sized off-white head. Mellow dry hop aroma. This had a beqautiful hop taste that wasn't too bitter at all. Nice big, dry finish.
