Blue Point Golden Ale

Brewed by Blue Point Brewing
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
Patchogue, New York USA

tap from tasting room- pours yellow, tastes oddly smokey/toasty- maybe some of the toasted lager in this one. Not that good.

Pours golden, like the name. Aroma of some light floral scents. Flavor strongly of wheat. It is almost as if it is a fruit beer that is simply waiting for the right fruit to come along. Rather sweet either way.

on tap-pours a white head with yellow color. Aroma is grain, musty-funky. Taste follows with some hops. OK carbonation.

Sample at the brewery tasting room. A rather unattractive yellow color with a thick head. Has a deceptively medicinal and herbal aroma. However, all this leads to a surprising and deliciously sweet malt flavor. Slightly biscuit-y a la a British bitter mixed some strong sweet malts. Mouthfeel has a perfect level of felt carbonation. A surprising delight. 6/2/8/4/15

Rerate: definitely a different batch and a very different beer. Not so unattractive yellow anymore. Taste is a lot more hoppy (some citrus some herbal hops) and less on the biscuit. Still very quaffable though. 7//3/7/3/15.
