Can at home. Hoping it gets changed to dumb pale ale category. Dirty gold and large head. Nose is kids fruit cup. Tastes oddly fruity of fake pear, peach orange and malt. Weird flavor profile somehow. Juicy palate.

From old tasting notes. Hazy brassy gold color. Small white head. Fruity malt nose. Soft semisweet toasted malt flavor hints at orange peel and honey. Very fruity and refreshing.

Bottle dull hazy light amber. Brief of white head quickly fading to a thin skin. Moderate toasted malt flavors. Some bitterness but not really hoppy. Late metallic bite. Not very good.

Draft. A golden beer with a white head. The aroma has notes of malt, and straw. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, grain, AMD straw, leading to a bitter finish.

Location: 12 oz can from Nikki's Liquors, 4/6/15
Aroma: The aroma is bready malts, with some herbal and spice notes.
Appearance: It pours an unclear gold-orange color with a sheeting white head and mid-heavy lace.
Flavor: The taste is similar, bready malts, lightly sweet, spice and herbal light bitterness.
Palate: The body is light-medium, fairly clean, average carbonation, and a lightly dry finish.
Overall Impression: This is decent. Not something I'd rush out for again, but a decent offering none-the-less.
