shadey (1343), Rochester, New York, USA Oct 8, 2008 12oz bottle. Pour is a deep gold with only wisps of white lace on the top. Aroma is a very pleasant sweet lemon. There is also some kinds of spice, but its slightly sweet and citric. Really nice. The flavor is equally nicely balanced. I’m really enjoying this blond. Surprising? BigBen2120 (564), Derry, New Hampshire, USA Aug 14, 2008 12oz brown bottle from the Lighthouse in Manchester. Pours an amber-yellow clear body with a half inch of off-white head that slowly dissipates. Smells biscuity with some diacetyl/butterscotch. Tastes like caramel and biscuit, with husky and butterscotchy notes toward the finish. Overall flavor is somewhat muted. Light in body with moderate carbonation. Very drinkable, a solid example for the style. phishpond417 (1459), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA Jul 28, 2008 This is not your typical blonde ale- and I was more than ok with that. Pours a cloudy muddy orange colour with a medium sized white floral head. Aroma is particularly hoppy. Strong floral accents. Similar to what you would find in a flower garden on a warm spring day. Flavor is slightly hopped, fruity with a touch of spice in the finish. Great beer, and like i said my kind of blonde!! jazz88 (2206), San Francisco, California, USA Oct 31, 2002 Bottle. Smooth balanced hops and malts. A little creamy and a touch sweet. Good body and a light finish. hophead_hans (583), Bay Area, California, USA Jun 8, 2006 Bottle. Pours more like an amber with a medium sized head. Aroma of dough and yeast flavors of dough and malt. Quite a refreshing beer and a very good
summer beer.
