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.

Extremely fast growing, foamy white head. Bronze, semi transparent body. Earthy smell with a hint of bananas and other fruits. The taste was a mixture of malt, bananas, hay and mild carbonation. Finished light and dry. Very easy to drink.

I got a bottle of this in Madison, Wisconsin. the body was a hazy dark gold and ornage. The head was white and had some larger bubbles. The arom had oranges with some light hay. There is not much else to smell, but it is pleasant and light. The taste was light with some sweet orages and some light iced tea. There are also some strong herbal notes in the finish. A decent and interesting golden.

bottle-pours light orange with a big fizzy white head which suggested oxidization. light citrus, some dusty esters (oxidization), some flowery notes that suggest dandelions. Flavors are lots of grains with some woody components. some light oxidization but nothing overbearing. some nice earthy hops on the finish with some light citrus fruits. not bad for a blonde and would love to try on tap.

Slightly hazy yellow orange with a rocky white head. Muted grain notes with some caramel in the aroma. Caramel malt flavors under a pantina of herbal hop spiciness. A phenolic twang developes, especially noticable in the finish. Mouthfeel is light and nondescript.

New In Town.
Pours a golden / copper body with a fluffy white head. The aroma and flavor shocked me with a great surprise! What I found was a rather luscious caramely and toffee suggestion. There was a wonderful toasty tobacco smoky spiciness to the beer that takes this Golden Ale into a entirely new world. I really loved the uniqueness of the smoky malts and the spicy woodsy hops. What a pleasant shock! - I find this to be a wonderful session beer!

(12 oz bottle: Hi-Time Wine Cellars in Costa Mesa, CA) Sweet and somewhat sugary nose, perhaps a bit of caramel or honey in there, but not much in the way of malt or hops. The flavor is also somewhat sweet, surprisingly caramely (albeit light, but still...), and very light on malt or hops, but what’s up with this odd woody and slightly smoky flavor that emerges in the finish? Talk about coming out of left field! Light-to-medium bodied, but with only sweetness and no bitterness, it gets cloying and tiring on the palate. Pale amber color is fully clear. The small whitish head eventually fades to a small ring and leaves no lacing. Not terrible, but totally lacking any character or complexity.
