Commercial Description:
This American-style golden ale is our lightest, in both color and flavor. Bright Spot is brewed with locally malted 2-row barley and the finest American, Czech and German hops lending a well-balanced, refreshing taste. A compliment to nearly any of our menu choices.

Honestly, I tried this after the Town Hall Czar Jack. This ale was superclear yellow with lively foam. Aroma was very subdued (or absent), but bananas were involved--like someone walked through the next room while peeling a single banana. Flavor. Hmm. Golden ale flavor. Finish was light, forgiving, and forgotten within seconds. Not my style, but not bad for a golden.

Not much aroma at all. No head, clear gold, with visible carbonation. Nice hoppy bite. Better than most beers of this ilk. I believe I’ve had this beer before, a long time ago before I started rating beers. My recollection was that I had eaten and had consumed a fair amount of beer and was full, and I couldn’t choke this down. Once again I find myself drinking this right after eating and after a couple of brews and am not really enjoying it. It is better however than virtually any macro.

On-Tap at the brewpub: Bright pale gold color with a solid but smallish cap of off-white creamy foam. Lacing sticks in mininal strings and spots. Aroma is soft yet fairly fresh with a fruity malt and a lighter hoppyness thats a bit like dry grass or leaves. Flavors are good; light, crisp, mild tones, sorta sweet with a unique malt flavor of ripe fruit taking on some green grape action and touches of lemon. Almost tangy, that part stays mild enough to let in some nice little hop notes of herbal grasses. Sweet and quick overall with a lighter medium body thats slightly sharp and tangy. Kinda drys off some as it goes. A subtle little drinker thats approachable and goes down with ease. This would make for a nice warm weather brew.

Your basic golden ale. A light malty taste with the slightest bit of hop presence. Creamy mouthfeel. Simple, but sometimes simple is good

Light clear gold, fizzy white head. Corn taste with light bitter hops. Sweet corn and minty aroma. Blah.

Golden body. Dusty, slightly fruity aroma. Tastes like corn and apricot. Meh.
