Can at the mondiale 2014. Very dark copper pour, with a small beige head. Strong thick malty aroma, lots of dank cereals, caramels, and breads. The hops were quite earthy, with notes of pine,mand spruce even. This wasnt my bag, low bitterness, with a thick, sweet malty mouth feel. The finish is swet and earthy,mwith slight pine notes. Not a fan.

16oz can pours a hazy orange with some sudsy, fluffy white head. Nose is OK, big with pith and C hops, some paper, soap, some grist. Flavor is harsh with citrus pith and sort of stale orange juice, spruce, soap, paper. Finishes with some harsh astringency.

Tap. Pours clear golden orange, small off white head, good lacing. Aroma is super light, grass and pine. Flavor is light sweet,, light plus bitter, very subdued flavor profile, pine, a bit soapy. Light body. Not exciting.

This was poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a soft transparent burnt golden orange/yellow color with a bubbly to foamy white head that dissipated at a decent pace. Lacing is bubbly to foamy.
The smell has some resin up front with a big use of dried malts (somewhat toffee to caramel).
The flavor is basically the same. Dry sweet to burnt bitter hops ride into the flavor. Mainly bitter burnt hop aftertaste with finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a workable sessionability about it. Carbonation rides low. Throaty hop burn, but the ABV does feel appropriate.
Overall, okay, I’m slowly warming up to this one.

Can. A cloudy orange gold with a big foamy head. An orange citrus aroma with a medium to light body and crisp finish. The taste is malt kernels, bright hops with a mid-level bitterness. Clean and refreshing. 3.4

Can at home in London - picked up in VT. Pours clear yellow-gold with a creamy, white head. Clean rindy citrus in the nose, some dry pale bread, hay. Light sweet flavour with some orange and tangerine rind, biscuit, light cracker. Light bodied with average carbonation. Pretty well balanced in the finish, though not inspiring, with more rindy citrus bitterness, crispy pale and lightly crackery malts, some bitter grain husk, lemon peel, straw. Overall, a very drinkable SIPA.

16 oz. can purchased at 7 Eleven, Kittery, ME. Canned on 6/6/16. Lightly hazy golden color with slow receding head retention. Aroma is decent amount of floral and citrus hops. This smells like the hoppiest damn golden ale I have had in awhile.
The floral hops are large with the grain/ cereal / malt / honey giving the base. Body is light with a light bitterness after the sip. This comes off more like a session IPA. Pretty easy drinking.

A golden ale with a thin white head. In aroma, sweet fruity caramel malt with light butterscotch, light fruity esters, OK. In mouth, a nice sweet caramel malt with light butterscotch notes, grassy hops, light buttery notes, OK. On tap at Festival Brassicole des Laurentides 2015.

Second brew in a can from Farnham of the night. Pours a cloudy light-golden colour with again, a big head. The warm cap is foamy with small bubbles, goes down slowly and leaves foam patch lacing. Pretty hoppy nose, almost hoppier than their IPA. Mild grapefruit and grass. Also citrus in the taste, but not as bitter, which makes this a nice pale ale. Light zest appears in the aftertaste. Decent dryness. Preferred this one over their IPA. Just wish their head would be a little less (not a fan of their carbonation).
