Dec 5, 2009 Very light ale that is very interesting. Slightly floral vegetative taste to it. Much like a blonde but a pilsener but a pale.

Nov 25, 2009 Sweet, fruity aroma of oranges and banana. Pours cloudy golden with a white head. The flavor is very sweet with orange banana, and a little soapyness on the palate. There is only a hint of grassy bitterness that fails to balance out the cloying sweetness. It would almost taste Belgian, but it’s way too simple.

Nov 16, 2009 Taster at Palmer Place, after trying Utopias. I’ve had my share of dandelion wines, usually from the Amana colonies in Iowa. Surprised there are only a few dandelion beers ever tried. But usually the wines are made with the dandelion flower. Anyway, I get a light ale smell with a touch of wine. The sample pour is golden ale, a bit cloudy. The taste shows a simple blond ale base; slightly fruity, and a very slight touch of yeast. A little bit flowery, even buttery. I did not miss the replaced hops, so I’d call this a success. Well worth trying if you see it around.

Oct 18, 2009 On tap at Sun Devil Basement.
Pours a nice orange with a white head. Aroma is citrus, malt, grass, and a strange sweetness. Flavor is citrus, grass, malt, that same strange sweetness and light floral notes. Interesting brew.

Oct 8, 2009 Tap @ Boise Brewer’s Fest: Pours a golden yellow color with a light white head. The nose has some light esters and bright citrus notes. Lots of orange and peppery yeast along with a sweeter toasty maltiness in the mouthfeel. A bit light in body and carbonation for the style and to offput the candy sugar. Sniffable though.

Sep 30, 2009 Draft @ Toronado. Pours a bright, hazy golden-orange color; fluffy white head with decent retention and fine-bubbled lacing. Especially sweet aroma of hard candy, oranges, and floral notes; pleasant but definitely sweet. Medium mouthfeel: the dandelion presence shows more clearly in the mouth, as does a ton of sweetness: candy, lots of oranges and fruitiness; just an inexcusably sweet, sweet beer. Messy, with dandelions. Lengthy finish: sweet oranges, candy and a toastiness emerging, a touch.

Sep 28, 2009 draft at papago... hazy orange with a soft white head.
smells of pale belgian sugar/caramel, grass, yeast, soft spice and perfume.
the palate is on the sweet side while the flavor pretty much mirrors the aroma. there is a defined note of piloncilla and a touch of peppery spice to finish off the description.
medium bodied with a sticky mouth feel... rather unrefreshing. 6/3/6/3/13/3.1

Sep 26, 2009 Sampled at the Thirsty Monk, draft. Hazy orange brew with a wispy head. Bready, musty aroma with light grain. Lightly sweet with wheat flavors and some kind of candy like presence. Actually, the sweetness eventually becomes too much for me. Medium body. Seems like a porch sipper for a summer evening. Nothing too great.
