With the generous use of Mt. Hood hops, this golden ale was brewed to refresh. The soft aroma of bread and spice, smooth texture and noble-hop flavors make it an ideal "session ale" for any beer lover.

Clear, golden color. Medium-sized, white head. Malt, bread, and fruits in the aroma. Malty taste with moderate hoppy bitterness and dry finish. Decent.

Reviewed from notes. The appearance was a golden yellow color with a slight transparency to it. Some carbonation could be seen rising at a moderate pace. Slight cap of a little white head, just slid off super quick. The aroma didn’t have much, some honey, light lemon, maybe some grassy hops. The flavor was all of the way sweet. The aftertaste was sweet. The finish was sticky sweet. The palate was light bodied with a pretty good sessionability about it. I will give this beer that much. ABV matches it’s ability to be crushed on the hot days. And I’d have it again basically for that. And maybe with some food too.

Pours a hazy gold colour.
Not much to smell on the nose, maybe some malt sweetness
Light, slightly tart, slightly fruity taste. A hint of something buttery or swampy.
Mostly just a decent, crisp, blonde ale. A solid recreation of the style. Easy drinking, but just a little boring.

I was told by the bartender..its their "flagship". Beer does everything well but nothing great. Meh.

Slightly cloudy amber, more body and spirit than a coors or bud, maltier than a Heineken, but not real special otherwise.
