Bottled. Clear gold. tiny head. Slightly skunked grain nose. Slight citrus taste.

Meh.

Meh. I'm not sold on this at all. Flat, and nothing orange or lemon at all. No.

Tasting flight at the taproom in Denver. A matte light gold with a crackery pale malt aroma. The body is rough and raspy. The taste is sweet, sugary with adjunct like malting. Not for me.

This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a mostly transparent golden yellow color with a slim finger’s white foamy head that dissipated within less than a minute leaving some light lacing sticking around the glass in a messy way.
The smell had a \"sweet wheatiness\" to bring in a light citrus to balance and a slight crisp refreshing freshly cut grassiness to it.
The taste was mainly sweet and crisp bringing in a grassy edge to brighten the flavor. There’s a slight sweet citrus/grassy aftertaste and a quick slight wet sort of finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a superb sessionability about it. The carbonation smoothed out a bit.
Overall, for a golden ale, I dig it, I’d have this again.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, best before 8/3/2014. Pours lightly hazy golden straw color with a 1-2 finger dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with some light streaming carbonation. Aromas of lemon zest, orange peel, pear, apple, wheat, cracker, bread, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of pale malt, citrus peel, and earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of lemon zest, orange peel, pear, apple, wheat, cracker, bread, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness. Slight earthy herbal bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of lemon/orange zest, pear, apple, wheat, cracker, bread, and herbal/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Good robustness and balance of pale malt, citrus peel, and earthy hop flavors; with a good malt/bitterness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, crisp, and lightly creamy/bready mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is well hidden with zero warming present after the finish as expected of 4.5%. Overall this is a very solid pale wheat ale style. All around good balance and robustness of pale malt, citrus peel, and earthy hop flavors; and very smooth and crisp to drink. A pleasantly enjoyable offering.

Bottle poured into a shaker. Pours a cloudy pale yellow with minimal head. Aroma of grains, light wheat, and a little skunk. Taste is light bitter. Follows aroma with the addition of some light herbal hops. Meh, even for a summer seasonal it’s not that good.
