Draft, 8 August 2015 at BCTC, Ommegang Brewery. Murky gold color, some head in the sample glass. Aroma is sweet grain, mild fruit and traces of a unknown hop variety.

Flavor will not throw you a curve ball, just as the aroma leads to to believe. Lighter body with a sweet grain/ corn finish. No off flavors and no problems. Just an ordinary blond ale, easy drinking.

This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a nice looking hazy bronzed yellow to orange color. A decent transparency runs about. Carbonation runs upward at a moderate pace. A slim fingered foamy head sits for about a minute before dissipating adequately.
The smell starts off with sweet apricot and a mildly sweet lemon combines over some light malt. There’s a light crisp refreshing grassiness there as well.
The taste is mainly sweet through the fruity notes mentioned earlier. Light grassy hops balance in a slight bitter fashion. The light apricots come back in the aftertaste and leave a grassy finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a nice sessionable aspect to it. Carbonation runs fairly light on the tongue and leaves a semi-crisp yet smooth malty feature running over my tongue.
Overall, for a blonde/golden ale, this is definitely one of the better ones on the market. Definitely makes the haters of the style reconsider their thoughts on the style.

Whole Foods, Bowery 12oz ($3): Pours a golden colour with a white head. Aroma is light malt and barely anything else, maybe a bit of lemon. Taste is slightly lemony. Mostly crisp, with some minor sweetness. This is perfectly drinkable, but perfectly forgettable as well.

On tap. Pours a clear gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a grassy note with backing grain and a bit of earthy flora. Flavor starts with grains and has a bit of grass and a hint of flora in the finish.

Bottle to kinda palate cleanse between my Belgian night. Pours golden with light head. Tastes of grass, banana, metal, grain, and corn. Nice carbonation and refreshing but nothing memorable.

Bottle from Half Time. Pours clear gold with a white head. Mild aroma - might be citrus. Med body. Flavor has a strong component - like veg. There’s definitely citrus. Moderately bready. Whatever else it has, it does finish bitter. Can’t see drinking many of these.

On tap at Brinkley’s NYC on 19th July 2011. Deep amber with thin foam ring and spot lacing. Cheesy, yeasty hoppy aroma. Thickly textured, rich and intense hoppiness in mouth, herby hempy notes and a citric grapefruit end that lingers quite satisfyingly. Thick mouthfeel.

Very slightly hazy relatively clear golden coloured body with a thin white head and quite a few bubbles rising from the bottom. Aroma of corn, light hops, grass, hay, some nice spicey yeast and a small touch of coriander seed freshness. Light-bodied; Sharp spice and metallic malt at first with a relatively potent shot of flavours behind with a lot of grass and hay in the mix. Aftertaste shows some lighter herbal notes, a little more malt and a very small amount of hops at the end. Overall, an okay beer - nice for the summer with a few subtle flavours, but a mostly refreshing beer. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Liquor Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 08-May-2011 sampled at home in Washington (the current US capital - opposed to the Old capital of just New York state) on 04-June-2011.
