Gold color. Very fresh hops in the flavor and aroma. Some very light malt flavor. Very good. Freshness helps.

Bottle shared by Tom, thanks! Pours a near clear light golden orange with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has a citrus and grass combination with a nice grain backbone. Flavor has bitter citrus and grass with grain and light fruit supporting.

Bottle from Coop in Burlington. It pours cloudy gold with a decent white head. The nose is brioche, sponge, zesty citrus, soft fruits and light spice. The taste is crisp, pretty bitter, dry, quite light, zesty citrus action, mostly grapefruit & lemon, grassy, spice and minerals with a dry finish. Light body and moderate carbonation. Crisp, light a refreshing. Doesn’t quite wow me light other Maine Beer Co beers, but it’s still decent.

Sample at the Northeastern Brewery (ME/MA) Tasting on 08/09/2015. Slightly cloudy golden color with a medium off-white head that dissipates steadily to an outer ring. Stringy lacing on the glass. Aroma of tropical fruit, herbal hops and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of grassy hops, citrus and pale malts. The finish is mildly bitter with a grassy hop aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

Hazy golden color. The smell is candied oranges and grapefruits. The mouth tons of candied oranges. Fairly sharp, but bitterness isn’t too high. I wouldn’t say El Dorado is my favorite hop, but I enjoy the craftsmanship of the beer.

A golden ale with a thin lacing white head. In aroma, nice biscuit malt with grassy floral hops, rather British, light mineral notes. In mouth, a nice biscuit malt with grassy floral hops, grapefruit pulp, light and smooth, OK. On tap at Vermont Tap House.

Bottle sample @ Troy’s Bday tasting @ Stein & Vine. Thanks Jason. Dorée trouble, col fin blanc. Arôme au bouquet fleuri et fruité houblonné moyen. Malt plus en retrait pâle Palais est malté, froment, houblonné sympa avec pas mal d’agrumes et une pointe de pelure d’orange-zeste qui restent le point fort de cette bière.
