Bottle. Flavor was a slightly hoppy taste with good balace. Aroma was a grassy hay with just a tad of bread. Golden yellow color with nice head and some lace.

12oz bottle. Golden Ale?!? What will they think of next? Kind of has that earthy vegetal yeast thing that every Magic Hat seems to have. Highly sessionable, leans into the mellow, sweet malts tones. Mild honey tones. Maybe a hint of corn. Not bad, certainly not good either, kind of like an insipid beer from the 90s.

On tap at magic hat brewing. Pours out a crisp pale straw color topped with a small fizzy white head. Nose is grain corn and grassy hops. Taste is more of the pale malts grain corn and grassy notes.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled on 1/9/2015. Pours slightly hazy golden straw color with a 1 finger dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a large amount of streaming carbonation retaining the head. Aromas of lemon, pear, apple, cracker, bread, herbal, grass, light pepper, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of pale malt, earthy hops, and fruity yeast notes; with solid strength. Taste of lemon, pear, apple, cracker, bread, herbal, grass, light pepper, and yeast earthiness. Light herbal/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of lemon, pear, apple, cracker, bread, light pepper, and herbal/yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Good balance and robustness of pale malt, earthy hops, and fruity yeast flavors; with a good malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium-high carbonation and medium bodied; with a very smooth, crisp, and lightly creamy/bready mouthfeel that is good. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish as expected of 5%. Overall this is a good English pale ale style. All around good robustness and balance of pale malt, earthy hops, and fruity yeast flavors; and very smooth and crisp to drink. A nicely enjoyable offering.

Location: 12 oz bottle from Buy Rite, 5/8/15

Aroma: The aroma is lightly malty, with bread, grain, dough, a little dirt, and some light grass
Appearance: It pours a clear gold color with small, fizzy head that dissipates quickly
Flavor: The flavor is similar, doughy, with some dirt and grassy flavor and a little mustiness
Palate: The body is light-medium, overly fizzy, which hurts the drinkability, with a lightly dry finish
Overall Impression: Eh. This one is okay. There's some solid components here. Not a great mouthfeel. It goes down alright, but overall, it just isn't a particularly interesting beer.
