The clear, golden beer cascades very heavily, and it has one of the more resilient heads that I've ever seen. It fell to about half an inch after a soft pour, and it is not going down any more than that. I respect that kind of stick-to-it-iveness. The aroma is floral honey and dusty yeast.First sip is honey sweet and that dusty yeast with even a bit of fruit to straighten things out. As a sip, it isn't overly complex, but it's still pretty nice. I could see sipping this for a while and enjoying it well enough. But swigging is what I do.
Tip-in is lemon and honey - very sweet with carbonation tingle. The middle brings the yeast into the mix, but it maintains the sweetness without being covered in dust. The finish is where the dust comes in, but it doesn't overwhelm. There is a tartness under the sweet, but the sweet is carrying the day, and it can carry it for the bottle.
Bottom Line: Golden ales are a finicky lot, but this one is pretty darn good.
3.75/5
