2.3/5  rDev -29.9%
look: 2.5 | smell: 2.5 | taste: 2 | feel: 2.5 | overall: 2.5
Appearance- A dark brass almost bronze color. The little bit of head and lace that it does have disappears quick

Smell- It has a strange old hardware store like smell.

Taste- Very bitter and sour. The aftertaste is like stale fruit.

Mouthfeel - Light but almost medium.

Drinkability- I am not fond of this beer at all. It is just plain

Poured from bottle into shaker pint glass. Bottle says freshest before Dec (no year, so I hope it's 2008!).
A: Very pale yellow with thin white head that quickly dissipates. Very average.
S: Mild hops and malt. Also, not sure how to explain this, but it smells watery
T: Spicey hop flavor. Sweet honey notes. Much better than aroma.
M: Light body. Oily on the tongue. Taste actually lingers a bit (surprising in a good way).
D: A light and refreshing summer brew. A bit simple and perhaps best imbibed with food. I don't think I'd reach for this one all the time, but if offered one I certainly wouldn't turn it down.

Picked up a six on the latest roadtrip/beer-run. Viscous pour, very little head, but what little head sticks around and leaves quite a bit of lace on the glass. Medium-bodied, dark yellow (darker than expected for a "blonde" - almost amber), full round mouthfeel. The taste is not overbearing - well-balanced all around, with a very slight sourness toward the end of the glass. Very little aftertaste. My initial impression is that it would make a good summer beer after mowing the lawn, but as it warms up a bit, I could also see it do well after winter activities.

Picked up a 6 pack on our recent trip to Montana.
Cute label, with a cartoon like drawing of a skydiving blonde, massive yellow hair straight up, almost taking out an eagle. Best Before info on the label. Dark orange in color, not the blonde color I was expecting. Much more similar to an ESB in color, aroma, and flavour. Some sweet malt but more bitter. Sharp bitterness, not the fruity bitter in a hoppy IPA. Smooth, creamy, not biting carbonation
Bitter finish, but no aftertaste. Good, but nothing spectacular.

The beer after disburdening itself from the 12 ounce brown bottle sits in the glass a clear amber color with the head bright white and modest in size, the texture frothy and the lace a thin white veil to occult the glass. Nose is crisp and fresh, sweet malt aroma dominates and overall pleasing to the senses. Start is somewhat sweet, fair malt presence, the top light in its feel to the palate with the finish brisk in its acidity and the hops benign in their spiciness, quite dry aftertaste, but a nice drinkable beer. My thanks to Abnranger for this bottle, “Go Airborne”!

Medium gold color, medium white foamy head. Aroma is grainy and slightly sweetish. Light to medium bodied golden ale. Malts are fruity and sweet. Hops are mild and slightly bitter. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly sweet.
