22 oz. Can from HomeBrewStuff. Spot on golden ale, nothing too fancy about it. Bright medium golden body with fluffy head that fades to a ring. Aroma is bready and grainy, and sweet, honey. Taste also recalls white bread, crackers, biscuits. Very slick mouth feel, slides down your throat. Bready notes linger.

Looks rather like beer, Imagine that.
Smell, check.
Taste. Like a more famous NY cream ale.
Feel. good body for the style.
Overall. I buy it all the time.
Because I like Cream Ale.
And I can't get the young spring goat from NY here in NC.

Poured from can: very average roasted orange/yellowish looking color, almost no head from pour.
Smells are at a minimum, there is nothing that really stands out.
Tastes very average also, nothing good and nothing bad.
Overall, a very run of the mill beer. Would not recommend.

I just had this refreshing beer outside in my yard. It is night but still warm. Pretty good.
Look: semi-clear golden with a thick white head
Aroma: citrus and grassy hops
Taste: crackers and maybe some mild citrus and mild grassy hops, Lager like
Body/Overall: light but creamy body.

19.2oz stovepipe can best before 18 AUG 2019 (opened 6-22-19).
1/2" pillowy white head, retains well at 1/4" in a wide rim glass. Clear, clean golden ale. Light lacing.
Sweet malt, light apple aromas and floral/grassy hops. Simple nose.
Light bready malt, apple/pear mild fruit flavors and fairly little beyond that.
Clean, light body, medium carbonation and quick, semi-dry finish.
Easy to drink and well made but seems to have a hole in it - could use more flavor, maybe more body...then I guess it wouldn't be what it is?
