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.

Pours clear golden with a fluffy white head. Harsh bread aroma. Taste is similar to that of a pilsener, very sweet aftertaste. Low hop and malt profile, Palate unremarkable. Very drinkable.

A very slight hazed, light golden colour with a frothy white head, leaving very good lacing. Grainy malt scent with some vegetable hints that change into decent hops. The taste has the same things, but not very well-balanced. Some metallic hints. OK, but not one to have again.

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.

This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a sly burnt yellow color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within less than about thirty seconds. Carbonation could be seen rising at a moderate pace. One filmy ring of lacing clings to the side and then slides into the beer.
The smell had a dried lemon rind to it and grasping a dried sweet grass trying to balance. The lemon is bitter and huge and dry.
The taste was mainly harsh bitter lemon. Dried out lemon hits in the aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with not so much sessionability about it, probably due to the fact of the overly bitter component of the lemon.
Overall, some would call this one dimensional, me, I guess we could say that, but at the same time, I’m not really impressed with the aroma and taste, so...there’s a good chance, I probably won’t come back to this.

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.
