chicagodri (539), Chicago, Illinois, USA Jul 17, 2008 Pretty much what I expected for a golden ale. I got this beer as part of a variety pack. Pours a gold with a white head. Flavor has a slight bit of hops, but otherwise not that much too it. Easy to drink though, decent beer.
jjpm74 (3087), Stratford, CT 06614, Connecticut, USA Oct 5, 2008 Bottle courtesy of dchmela. Pours a slightly hazy copper with a thin white head. Smells of caramel, some earthy hints, grass. Tastes spicy and earthy with a semi-sweet finish. 502Flavors (267), Louisville, Kentucky, USA Oct 4, 2008 12 oz bottle. Bottle says "Golden Ale," not Pale Ale. Good slightly hazy golden color with a big white head that holds and laces well. Aroma is simple but refreshing (I am really stuffy so can;t really get the best sense of the aroma) - nice pale malt with a bit of sweet pine and grapefruit hops. Flavor is very grainy with a very distinct cereal flavor. The hops work well with it. Great pale ale style for the fall. Medium to light body, medium carbonation. Overall: good fall session beer wiht a bit more flavor than a simple Pale Ale kmweaver (2120), Takoma Park, Maryland, USA Jul 27, 2008 12oz bottle, courtesy of ryan. Thanks! Pours a slightly hazy, bright, lemony-orange color; off-white head with good retention and fine-bubbled lacing. Crisp, dry aroma showing sugar, citrus, and cereal; nicely dry with a mild mineral bitterness. Medium mouthfeel: resiny, mineral and citrus bitterness upfront, but not overtly bitter; crisp, dry at the core, lively carbonation, and just excellent drinkability overall; toasty breadiness and crackers, with a light malty sweetness; perfectly drinkable. Lengthy finish: crackers, toasty malts, and lingering mineral bitterness; excellent dryness and toastiness at the end. PorterPounder (2851), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Jul 26, 2008 Lakewood, Oh. - Rozi’s Fine Wines - 12 oz bottle. Dark golden pour with a fluffy pillowy white head and excellent lacing. Clean, grainy aroma with some fresh lake water accents. Flavor is smooth with some buttery accents a hint of pears, and a bit of back end grassiness. Mouthfeel is clean and crisp. Well done.
