Appearance - 7 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6

Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: clear blonde/yellow color with a two finger white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: clean cracker/biscuity malts with light citrusy to sweet grassy hoppiness
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together fairly bittersweet with a clean finish of the malts and sweet grassy hops
Texture: light bodied, sessionable; just seem mobile along the tongue - no real smoothness no real abrasiveness but nothing watery (just flows like beer)
Overall: I don't necessarily want to rate straight 5's on this but to be honest, it seems like I should. Hmmmm...there's some good things about this.

grain and citrus juice on the nose. A solid white head with sustained lacing over a pale straw body. More golden ale than blonde, very little evidence of fruity yeast esters. Full slightly roasted grain, sweet malt and splashes of lemon and orange work well together. A solid fresh summer ale.

Pours a pale gold white head. Some hints of honey and spice but pretty nondescript overall. Tame effort but ok u guess

Lemon, grassy, and pale malts. Crisp and clean, low bitterness. An easy drinking ale with enough flavour to keep you interested.

Can: Poured a clear pale yellow color ale with a medium size foamy head with limited retention and some lacing. Aroma of dry hops notes with light residual sugar notes and cereal notes are pleasant. Taste is a god mix of dry hoppy notes with some dry malt notes and light cereal. Body is light with good carbonation. Nice use of lesser known hops for a highly drinkable golden ale.

From Whole Foods, probably, in a can: pours golden with a white head. Aroma is lightly bready, slightly lemony, grainy. Taste is low bitterness, low complexity. Meh. Sessionable enough.

Crisp and well, crisp? Some hay and a little fresh grass like you spilled your beer from your lawnchair. Golden pour with ok head. Crisp finish. Tap at Whole Foods.
