Out of the keg, served at Chip and Dale's Oktoberfest celebration in Seattle. Had this side by side their Amber ale. Visually they look identical, so I am docking some points - where the heck is the pale aspect if the beer looks amber??
Taste was of one of those generic beers that taste like they have all the necessary ingredients but no character. Looks like this keg had sat out a few innings too long in the back of their cellar. I am not sure how the brewing process went, but I imagine it to be something like this:
Malt - check
Hops - check
Water - check
Yeast - check.
Yep, let's call that a pale...

Drank five 12-ounce bottles (in separate sittings). Nice golden color, a bit hazy. Peculiarly high carbonation, with a head that is actually too thick, spilling over the top of the glass the first time. Quite smooth for the high alcohol content. The hops have a solid presence, but are not as strong as most IPAs (as is appropriate for a pale ale). Just the right amount of bitterness, though a little more than the average pale ale.

22oz bottle - a 'pale ale', coming in at 7.1% ABV? Seems like this particular mariner has been at sea for just a wee bit too long, eh?
This beer pours a slightly hazy, medium copper amber colour, with two fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly ecru head, which leaves a few instances of the Simpsons' amorphous blob lace around the glass as it lazily recedes.
It smells of grainy and rather sweet caramel malt, some red berry-forward generic fruitiness, a subtle earthy yeastiness, and more leafy, weedy, and certainly perfumed floral green hoppiness. The taste is bready and doughy caramel malt, further mildly biscuity toffee square notes, still hovering, if innocuous yeast, muddled domestic and tropical stone fruit, and more laid-back earthy, leafy, and floral hop bitters.
The bubbles are pretty tame on the palate, what with their limp-wrist frothiness, the body an adequate middleweight, and generally smooth, with a nice airy creaminess basically hitching a ride from the get-go. It finishes off-dry, the lingering heady malt and side-saddle fruitiness winning the Wild West day.
Overall, Golden Mariner is indeed 'still' a pale ale, as there appears to be little attempt at rendering it as an IPA (beyond the commensurate booze quotient). Fairly enjoyable to drink, as said alcohol is mostly well integrated, and robust enough to make me take heed as I end this bomber.

Poured into a Seattle Beer Week pint glass. Pours a medium golden amber with a thin whtie head that dissipates to light patches with no lacing. Aroma of bready malt with buttery toffee and light stone fruit. Flavor starts similarly, with buttery, bready malt, then rapidly develops grassy hops with a bit of astringency, finishing with a long, bitter grassy hop finish. Medium bodied with light carbonation. A malty take on a pale ale, the body starting more like a golden ale, but finishing like a hopped up pale ale. The hop finish is a bit stark, considering the maltiness of this ale. A satisfactory, but unblanced, golden pale ale hybrid.Nothing here to really bring me back. I like Scuttlebutt, but this is a near miss.
