Fish Tale Blonde Ale

Deep golden colour. Light bready, slightly fruity aroma. Malty, slightly earthy flavour. Moderate character for style.

on tap-pours a white head and yellow color. Aroma is grain, fruity, grassy-hops, crisp. Taste is musty grain, fruity, grassy-hops, crisp. OK/mild carbonation.

Hazed amber color with a tall fluffy dark cream colored head. Wild or even buckwheat honey aromas mix with some dry wood and caramel scents. Light and quite airy, somewhat expected after seeing the pour. Honey and rye, with some mild smoke seems to seep in. An interesting brew, that I enjoy from a aspect that I am not sure that are intended, but I’ll take them.

Unfiltered hazy gold, light brown with some light off-white head & no lacing. The aroma is very hoppy for a blond with some musky 2-row & wheat coming up through the sweet pnw hoppiness. The flavor is balanced with a lean towards the sweet side. Very refreshing and clean hoppy blond ale. Quite good but standard for the region.

Draught @ the brewpub. Pours a pale yellow color with a small white head. Has a malty hoppy aroma with some fruity hints. Sweetish malty hoppy citrus flavor. Sweetish malty citrus hoppy finish.

A hazy golden ale with a thick lightly off white head. A lightly grassy malt aroma with light caramel. In mouth, a nice refreshing blonde, with biscuit malt, and more german like hops. Medium bodied. Slight signs of oxidation. Trade with Presario...thanks Trev.

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 from John’s Market in Portland, OR. Dark gold color with a light white head. Aromas of pale malt and fruit hop. Medium body with coarse carbonation. Flavors of fruit, citrus and bread. More malty than not, and the hop is present, but overall it finishes more like bread.
