16 ounce can, canned on 10/04/18. Purchased in Louisville when I was there for the Breeder's Cup. Served in a Tubby pint glass, the beer pours a mostly clear gold color with about an inch off-white head. Head retention and lacing are both pretty good. The brew smells like bready malt, honey and some light earthy hops. I think the taste is similar to the aroma, but there's also a bit of sweet malt and caramel noticeable too. Mouthfeel/body is light/medium, it's smooth and easy to drink with a good amount of carbonation. I thought it was a good and enjoyable golden ale. I liked it.

Pours clean and golden and clear. Head is bright white, but dissipates quickly. Nice lacing. Nose was kind of, well stinky at first. Once head goes away the nose lightened up to a more bready nose. Taste was light and bready. Good beer.
