650ml bottle - 'great for just about any occasion', eh? How very modest of them.
This beer pours a slightly hazy, medium golden yellow colour, with four fingers of puffy, rocky, and somewhat bubbly eggshell white head, which leaves some decent webbed and splotchy lace around the glass as it lazily sinks away.
It smells of semi-sweet, grainy and bready pale malt, a bit of biscuity caramel, some sugary apple and pear fruitiness, and very tame earthy, musty, and leafy green hop bitters. The taste is bready and biscuity caramel malt, muddled citrus and pome fruit esters, a hint of earthy yeastiness, and more understated weedy, leafy, and dead floral verdant hoppiness.
The carbonation is adequate in its peace-loving frothiness, the body a decent middleweight, and more or less smooth, nothing really getting in the way of a good time here, no sirree! It finishes off-dry, the biscuity malt doing well to linger above all else, which isn't a particularly difficult thing to accomplish, FWIW.
Overall, this is indeed what it purports to be - a gentle malty quaff, with just enough off-setting character to keep me from reaching for my handy-dandy tongue-scraper, so there's that. Easy to drink, and kind of plain, yeah, but I can freely admit that this golden ale is well-made.
