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.”

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.”
