Notes from August 2009 Bottle from a mixed six from PH Provisions on my way out of town at the end of June. Not feeling the promotional angle, but for the most part, I enjoy their brews. Pint glass pour. Half a glass of meringue head over a clear & deep chardonnay body. Smell has a heavy touch of clove upfront. Muddled lemon/banana phenols. The bready malt just hinting at the back. Taste is simple grain & salt. Cherry pits. Steely/herbal hops that linger just a bit. Cracker finish. Biting carbonation, dry, pils-like feel. Not really my thing, but a pretty clean brew. :)

Bottles and drafts since inception.
Always highly carbonated, with a strong residual sugar base, it seems since it always borderline gushes when it has some age on it. Clear, copper-tinged golden with mountains of white head.
Always smells a bit "off" and sure has a strange character to the yeast. Plastic, rubber, almost borderline Brett notes at time. Cracker and massively fruity yeast esters. Strong earth and mineral on the end.
In the mouth it's got more perceived body than your usual golden ale, mostly on account of the carbonation, but the malt does impart more biscuit and cereal character than usual, as well. Again, strong leather, mineral, plastic character; just a bizarre yeast signature really. Massively fruity and with light honey-like sweetness throughout. Pretty interesting at least, if very unusual.

From tap. Pours hazy yellow to orange. Small white head. Aroma is toasted malty, slight herbal. Bitter and toasted malty. Bitter, slight herbal. Dry, toasted and bitter to herbal finish.

On cask at the Bow Bar. Appearance - pale yellow with a lacy head. Nose - floral and lemon. Taste - sweetish lemon and flowers. Palate - close to medium bodied with a tangy texture. The finish is sweet and dry at the same time. Overall - sweeter than the typical golden ale style but enjoyable.

Cask at the bow bar.. Golden yellow.. Massive white head... Soft floral orange fruits nose.. Light dry floral fruit

Cask at the bow bar. Pours clear golden, nose is floral, raisin, caramel, berries, taste is sweet, almond, juicy fruit.

Fresh 12 ounce can with a date of 10-7-16. Gifted by Chalumeaux. Color is a clear gold with lasting foamy head. Aroma shows pilsner malt, bread, maybe honey.

The flavor is mostly grain with yeast, minor astringency. The body is light but it does have a creamy texture over the tongue. Better if consumed cold but not bad for the style.

Poured from can clear yellow with a white head. Aromas of grain malt citrus. Taste follows.

Bottle pour into nonic pint glass from One Stop Market. Appearance is clear piss yellow with finger-width white fizzy head with poor retention, minimal sparkle and no lacing. Aroma is strong cracker, pilsner-like malt with mild fruit/citrus. Taste is strong cracker/biscuit with mild bitter. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with thin texture, average to lively carbonation and lightly bitter, somewhat dry finish. Overall, flavorful for a blond ale.
