What the brewers say
“Built for the warmer months, our Golden Ale is brewed with American Willamette hops and pale wheat malt to create a low-alcohol American golden ale that balances bread-like malt flavors with herbaceous hops and a vibrant carbonation.”
What our panel thought
Aroma: “A pleasant blend of citrus and floral hops notes mixed with a touch of malt sweetness. Peach and cherry emerge on the end, offering nice complexity.”
Flavor: “A medium amount of malt sweetness is well-balanced with an appropriate level of hops character. The sweetness enhances some of the citrus notes, giving it a slight mandarin-
orange character with melon. Moderate carbonation, which helps to accentuate the dryness.”
Overall: “What starts as a fairly straightforward beer opens up and provides a decent amount of depth with the interplay between a pronounced light malt character and distinct hops.”
