Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: dark yellow to golden color with a three finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some sly lace
Aroma: mixed citrusy hop notes with some freshly cut grass and orange rind bitter hop tones with some floral sweetness; light honey notes
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to light bitterness; finishes semi-floral, slightly citrusy with a touch of dryness
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; some smoothness with not much distracting; good carb level
Overall: nice flavorful blonde worthy of coming back to.

12 oz bottle from a World Market mix pack. Best by 3 28 19. The pour is a slight haze golden almost greenish color with a one inch foamy white head. The aroma is lemongrass floral along with some light lime citrus. The taste is moderately sweet floral, lime citrus and some wet cardboard malt. The palate is unfiltered, light to medium bodied and a loose finish. Past its prime I’m sure.

Can pour into nonic pint glass from Greg & Jane's Beer and Wine. Appearance is lightest hazy orange-yellow, tons of sparkle, 3-finger width, white rocky foamy head (it foamed out of the can--am sure someone dropped it sometime) with good retention and lots of soapy lacing. Aroma is citrus and candied fruit with malt back bone balance (reminds me of a west coast DIPA). Taste is lemon and orange citrus, mild pineapple, candied fruit. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, average carbonation and finish as taste including dry, crisp, bitter finish. Overall, this is packing a ton of aroma/flavor into a golden ale. In fact, it is a golden ale in name only as this drinks much more like an IPA or a DIPA. And, if anything, the hops were likely muted as this was well past its best by date (9/18).
