Commercial Description:
The light bodied, golden hued beer has a creamy head that lingers on the glass. Blonde Ale is brewed with a touch of rye malt for a delicate spicy flavor which matches perfectly to the honey sweetness of the pale malt. The delicious malt character is balanced with Tettnanger hops for a gentle bitterness and aromatic finish.

I’ll agree that although it’s not “outstanding” it’s a refreshing beer that’s not pretentious or obnoxious. It has a little aftertaste, not heady, and could be a little more refined, but overall, a good beer when it’s over a C-note outside.

Bottle. Aroma had a decent lemon and burnt toast to it. Gold body with small white creamy head. Flavor a spicey up front with the lemon and some vanilla. Last swig left a vanilla malt aftertaste. Not overly bitter but some noticable. Decent brew and refreshing.

A golden yellow color, nice head and a great aroma. I liked this beer. The flavors where complex and the rye to me added to the flavor. Really liked how it finished leaving me to want more. Great beer for the summer.

Very present rye bread in the aroma, that completely ruins the flavor profile, I would not ever think of making this type of beer with an addition of rye. A very present alcohol weight, honey and just a hint of herbal hoppiness.

12oz bottle into a pint glass. Hazy amber hue with a big white head that doesn’t last long. Smells like burning! Like Dorwart said, very charcoaly and burnt tasting, with an alcohol flavor present as well as minimal hops. Not very good, and I wouldn’t recommend this or try it again.

12oz bottle. Not quite clear golden with medium head that sticks around. Almost non-existent aroma; a little malt sweetness. Taste is smooth with some ester sweetness. Slow, lightly bitter finish. Not a big fan. But, at 4% this packs in at least a little taste. 4%? My god. Now that’s a light beer.

Very large off-white head of dense bubbles. Great carbonation. Crisp, citrusy aroma with lemon, dry grass, hops and a bit of dustyness. Color is a medium golden orange. Light dry flavor with a very large helping of charcoal. Very strange. Dry smokey ash. Chalky. Some hops and a little more citrus but really overwealmed by the charcoal. Finish is dry and puckering with some sourness and bitterness. A very strange brew and not one that appeals to me very greatly.
