Tap @ brewpub. Golden appearance with a white head. Upfront fruity esters in the nose with notes of banana, citrus fruits, and apricot. A little boozy, fruit forward, a little piney hoppy flavor. Lots of citrus fruits which is nice but the booze is a little out of control. The barrel aged version has a more mellow alcohol note.

Tap @ brewpub. Hazy yellow appearance with a white head. Pretty rich banana creamy, a bit spicy yeasty, moderate clove aroma that is quite nice and not overpowering. A touch tart, spicy yeasty, fairly sweet banana flavor. Not a ton going on but it is delicious.

Tap @ brewpub. Clear, light golden appearance with a white head. Lightly fruity, effervescent, straw, sweet pils malty aroma. Tasty, straw, pils malty flavor with some light citrus notes. Easy to drink. The best golden ale I’ve ever had? I think so.

Warm finish with notes of burnt wood, peat, burnt moss, cocoa, earth, dark chocolate. Solid impy.
