Drinking this at The Fannin Brewery in Downtown Blue Ridge Georgia.
Poured from a tap into a pint glass.
Looks golden yellow, slightly hazy with a nice white foamy head that dropped quickly to a thin cap.
Smells lightly bready, floral, spicy sweet.
Taste follows the nose nicely with plenty of hop spiciness to keep my interest.
Mouth feel is medium for the style.
Overall a very nice example of Golden Ale with a little more hoppy kick than usual for the style, that being said I really like it and would definitely order again.
Cheers!

Really wanted to like this one but it didn't really fit in. Not really a red, not really a gold and certainly not a blonde as the pub where I sampled this one has it listed. Beautiful color and a nice mouth feel but too hop forward for a blonde and not with that bite from a red. Is ok but just there are more refreshing beers on the lighter side and more complex beers on the hoppy/ red side.

Grabbed this on a whim as a single at the local grocery store (here in Georgia). Wow! What a pleasant surprise. Sessionable, yet full of great flavor. I would categorize this beer to be more along the lines of a blonde ale than an amber ale; it has moderate bitterness and maltiness. Love the finish!

Bought at the piggly wiggly in Dillard Ga. Has some hops but is nicely balanced. I dig it.

Picked up at local package store. Out of bottle into pint glass. Notes of citrus a bit of grass. Refreshing brew.

Excellent beer, similar to a good hefewiezen without the banana flavor, clean and crisp, slightly fruity, very pleasing to drink all day long, would go well with fish, chicken, and even dessert, the flavor come through and is constantly delicious from glass to glass, it will surprise most not a watery beer by any means...
