Draught at the brewpub
Blond color. For being an Ale, it’s remarkable for the lack of character, roundness, fruitness, therefore associating it to a Lager, I would say. Useless.

(Draught) Sampled on February 8, 2008, at the brewpub. Thin, white dissipating head with a clear, lightly carbonated gold body. Nose of weed and minor butter. Flavour is mildly skunky and diacetyl. Likely the worst of the lot I tried.

[814-20071105] Tap @ Wildwood (Calgary, AB). Sweet maple fruity yeast aroma has a bit of yeasty hops and nail polish or acetone. Clear, golden orange body with a medium-lasting foamy white head. Flavour continues yeasty fruit. Medium body, nice bubbles. Great yeast blend, interesting floral fruit.

Half pint served in an alt glass. Graininess and corn-like DMS are strong and not altogether appealing in the aroma. Brillliantly clear golden body is topped by a decent, fine bubbled, white head that recedes quite rapidly to a partial cover with some patchy lacing. Corn-like DMS up front doesn’t quite overpower the plasant malt character but sadly no hop flavours are apparent whatsoever. Clean, light, finishing bitterness. Medium-light body with somewhat sharp fine bubbled carbonation that awakens the tastebuds. I was hoping for a British style golden ale. Sadly this was not it. Sampled on tap at the restaurant.

Draft at the brewpub. Crisp yellow body with a small white head. Interesting grassy hops aroma, with odd hint of florals. Mild bitterness throughout. Average palate. Quaffable but plain.
