Set your Gold Standard with our quaffable abbey blonde. Dynamic Belgian esters and a light, dry body blend with subtle malt flavors and delicate grassy hops to form a crisp, clean Belgian-style single ale with a sparkling golden hue befitting of its name. Certainly deserving of full faith and credit. (Also The Gold Standard).

Pours clear gold with a white head. It’s yeasty and malty with fruity, spicy, biscuity notes. It finishes kind of dry. Lively carbonation. Good.

Light floras and lime. Golden pour without much head and a bit of lacing. Light sweet finish. Much better than the coffee version. Tap at downtown brewery.

On tap at the Indianapolis gastropub. Pours a clear gold with a yellow hue and a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has earthy grains and wet straw with a hint of light flora backing. Flavor has lots of straw and bread with light grain and light Belgian yeast underlying.

Sampled from a can this beer poured a hazy apricot color with a large foamy yellow-white head that lingered and left good lacing. The aroma was sweet, tangy, yeasty and phenolic. The flavor was tangy and sweet with perfume and yeast. Long perfumey finish. Medium bodied and smooth.

Sample at Platform during the "4 Year Anniversary Party" on 06/30/2018. Slightly hazy golden color with a thin white head that burns away quickly to a sparse outer ring. Spotty lace. Floral hops, fruit and malt aroma. Light to medium body with flavors of mild floral hops, citrus, yeast and malt. The finish is fruity yeast and hops. Decent overall.
