Fish Tale Blonde Ale

Brewed by Fish Brewing Company/Leavenworth Beers
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
Olympia, Washington USA

Pours hazy gold with copper tones. Fair amount of lacings. Floral aroma. Taste is well balanced, sweet tasty malt with enough hop presence to give full flavor for the style. Don’t expect an APA this is a Blonde Ale and in that category it is really good. Sometimes I enjoy a respite from the hop bombs that seem to get all the big ratings. Try drinking this as the first beer of the day especially in the hot days of summer. You will enjoy it. Might even have another.

12oz bottle poured a clear yellow/gold with a very small white head. Aroma had a piney hop nose with some corn notes and a slight yeast character. Taste was well balanced with a dry aftertaste. Nice drinkable blonde ale.

Nice golden color, smallish head, light aroma of fruit, wheat. Malt character is somewhat sweet, fruity, bread; a tinge of hops for the finish. Drinkable and somewhat refreshing, not bad for the style; a good ’tranistion’ beer.

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.

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.

A terrific golden ale, very similar in profile to their pale ale, but not quite as heavily hopped. That being said, the hop character is still fairly generous, giving this beer lots of flavour.

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.

Smells of cornbread, kind of "yeasty" and slight apple sauce arouma. A beautiful tangerine colour with a slight head and slightly hazy. You can see through it, but not right through to its soul. Moderately sweet taste with an ever-so-slight bitter aftertaste. At first, I didn’t really like it, but the more I taste it, the more I want to drink it. A light body with slight carbonation makes this beer delicious. It is a good summer beer for lake time sippin’. Overall, I would say this beer is good.
