Label Reads: "Five hops and four malts make Hoptober Golden Ale a veritable cornucopia of the earth. Pale and wheat malt are mashed with rye and oats to create a medium-bodied ale with a creamy mouthfeel. Centennial, Cascade, Sterling, Willamette, and Glacier hops form a bonfire of citrus notes, fruity cheers and a bold finale".

Handwritten notes: This beer sports a disappearing hop flavour, leaving a cleaner flavour than the "lingering" hop beers. The bitter hops wash away leaving a honey-suckle finish. This beer is professional tasting. Like if it was a human being it would be wearing a neatly pressed suit, its hair combed impeccably to the right, with its white teeth flashing in the noontime sunlight.
