tronraner (1906), Maryville, Tennessee, USA Sep 7, 2009 Draught at the brewpub. Pours hazy golden yellow with small white head. The aroma is sourdough bread, lemon zest, and a bit of grassy hops. The flavor is grassy hops, sourdough, and a rather unpleasant soap and leather finish. Not very exciting. CaptainCougar (5379), Rockville, Maryland, USA Jun 16, 2009 On tap at the brewpub 2/1/08: Pours a mostly transparent hazy golden with a pillowy, clumpy-lacing white head. Lightly grainy pale malty sweet nose has some mild lemon citrus notes. Starts semi-sweet and grainy with some earthy bittering hops and mild citrus tartness. Pretty true to style and drinkable. changeup45 (782), Orlando, Florida, USA Nov 29, 2008 Their blonde ale doesn’t really look that blonde to me, pouring a copper-orange color. Nice head and lacing. Slightly sweet floral hopping, light malt, crisp and light but a lot of flavor for what it is. A good session choice and really something I can see being refreshing on a hot summer day. ChainGangGuy (2523), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA Dec 13, 2007 Appearance: Lightly hazy, burnished gold body with a small white head.
Smell: Fairly mild aroma of crackers and sour lemons.
Taste: Light wheat cracker flavor with no more than a touch of sweetness. Hint of lemons. Mild bitterness helps the beer finish dry.
Mouthfeel: Light-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: A respectable light blonde ale. argo0 (6861), Washington DC, USA Oct 28, 2007 No head atop lightly hazed straw body. Aroma is mild, medium sweet, grassy, some herbal, light peach. Taste is medium sweet, grassy/herbal, light honey. Light body, some crisness, low carbonation. kp (8400), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Sep 1, 2007 Date: 09/22/2006

jcwattsrugger (5223), Florida and, New Jersey, USA Jul 24, 2007 on tap @HopfestNC-pours a white head and pale yellow color. Aroma is grain-slightly sweet. Taste is grain-slightly sweet, faint/secondary hops. OK carbonation. 2.8 NachlamSie (1630), Tennessee, USA Jan 4, 2007 Draught. Pours light yellow and is easily seen through. A firm white head adorns the brew. The aroma is really yeasty and musty with faint diacetyl. The taste is almost non-existant, some papery hops become known in the finish. There is a faint, non-descript sweetness. I imagine this is to satisfy all those Carolinians looking for the "lightest beer ya got," much like the sister brewery Foothills’ Salem Gold. Mission accomplished.
