Firehouse Barely Blonde Ale

On tap currently at the brewpub. Golden orange appearance which is notably dark. Aroma of cream candies, cotton candy, apricot, and floral, earthy hops. Some biscuit and honey; really clean, comfortable, and relaxed. Flavor is soft and smooth with crisp grassy hops, lavender, and crystal malt; no intonations of bitter minerals or metallics that tend to drag down these brewpub renditions of european blonde ales, just a wholesome, polished canvas of czech hops and doughy, honey-sweet pale malt. Palate tepid and watery. Solid example for refreshment without any real drawbacks.

This brew pub is just a few blocks from home, but I recently visted for the first time. Tried this on tap and was pretty happy with it...it's a bit overpriced if you ask me unless you make it to happy hour. No head...I mean none...fair smell and decent taste. If you're in Rapid City, it's worth a try (at happy Hour).

Very fresh tasting ale on tap at the brewery. Nice golden color and hoppy aroma, with a smooth mouthfeel.
