Style Summer Ale, this tail-wagger’s already fetched a real name for itself in competition. Our premium barley rolls over with domestic and imported Golding hops for a delicate bitterness and cold, wet nose.

Poured into a nonic pint glass from a 12 oz. bottle. Quite fresh.
A-Poured a 1/2 inch white creamy head; golden/light orange slightly cloudy; retention was not so swell. A few traces of lace left behind on the glass.
S-Earthy and piney hop aroma with a slight touch of fruit. Smelled fresh.
T-The taste does not follow the nose. Initially it is sweet and fruity, with some pear juice, peach, and pineapple juice. The aftertaste was sweet and wet, but after a few minutes it became dull and boring as it became more like soda water. The balance could be better.
M-Wet, light body, carbonated water, and somewhat crisp.
Overall, it was okay. It is a good one to swill back at a backyard bbq; sessionable. It was just a boring one for me overall. The flavors and aroma just didn't seem to jive too well together. Soda water is my lasting impression.

Taster at CopenRoss. Very pale golden, thin foamy head. Aroma and taste are dominated by big biscuit malts. The hop snap at the finish veers this brew off into pils territory , lots of lager qualities too.

Lightly sparkling golden-amber with a short but persistent off-white eggshell head clinging in arching lace. I must be seeing things, having just visited Arches!
It's like a light amber lager with a touch of toasty malt and a little herbal astringency accented by a pear skin and orange peel tang.
The medium-light body has a firm froth and finishes semi-dry with an overall semi-bitter constitution.

Light gold amber, small but persistent head
Smell is fresh sweet and just a little peppery
Taste is a very good balance of what seems like a Belgian malt and a little hops
good, not balls out dank but something light that's interesting

I'm not an expert. Just a gal learning about beer & cataloging what I drink. This was pale to golden, light but still interesting. Citrus & little pine maybe? Not notably hoppy. Not amazing, but redrinkable after skiing. (We def had tried like cal UT beers that were blah)

A+ on tap at SLC, x from C3, try Squatters airport pub and grub - great.
a) 'Style Summer Ale, this tail-wagger’s already fetched a real name for itself in competition. Our premium barley rolls over with domestic and imported Golding hops for a delicate bitterness and cold, wet nose.
a) Perfect color and lace
s) Light, totally floral over a mass golden ale base. appetizing and clean.
t) The taste is floral and fruity with lemon and white citrus with some spice and bright hops. The malt is light for English ale, (good), white bread and suitably balanced base.
f) Crisp and smooth, light body, mediumcarbonation, very clean finish.
o) Low ABV, great food beer.

On tap. Poured a clear, golden yellow color with a small, white head of foam. It smelled of toasted caramel, floral notes and yeastiness. Sweet toasty caramel flavors with a mild bitterness.
