12 oz bottle poured at a restaurant in North Cali near the source. Bright golden cloudy pour with a high carb, active fizz head. Very gentle hop aroma. A ton of dry, dusty straw grain throughout. A savior splash of juicy, yet bitter combined hops. Overall an easy drinking pale. Light, and medium refreshment. Not bad.

Pours hazy and kind of dark pale ale. Not my favourite shade. Aroma is fresh and grassy, malt sweetness shines through. Taste is malty, there are some hops too, mainly bittering ones. Could be a nice beer to have by the pint.

Bottle @ home, picked up at Supermarket Liquor Fort Collins. Pours a bit hazy golden orange appearance with a cream colored head. The aroma is full of toasted crackers and bread. Some light citrus as well. Kind of chewy mouth feel. Low to moderate sweetness. Moderate bitterness. Finishes dry and pretty clean. Boring but not all that bad.

35,5 cl bottle @ hotel room. Portland
Aroma is malty with peach, apricot, pineapple and some hay. Flavour is sweetish with peach, hay and some hops. Not the most typical golden ale.

Bottle. Clear golden color with frothy medium white head. Fresh floral and citrusy hops aroma. Nice hoppy flavor with grapefruit and floral and slightly spicy notes and light pale malt sweetness. Medium-bodied. Pleasant and quaffable.
