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.

Tap at brewpub Light, crisp blonde with a nice, subtle hop finish. I’d be the first to admit it’s not got a ton going on, but I really enjoy this beer. Refreshing, and clearly more interesting than lagers. Well done for the style.

The beer pours from the 12-ounce bottle a clear gold, the head two fingers, the texture creamy and the color white, lacing provides a nice concealing sheet upon the glass. Nose has a sweet malt aroma; hint of hops, citrus like crispness, start has a decent malt presence with a bit of bitter bite, top light to medium in feel. Finish sternly acidic, somewhat sweet with the hops present, quite dry aftertaste, a drinkable beer, average at best, nice session beer.

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

Bottle: Translucent golden, small fizzy head, spotty lacing, lively carbonation.   Pilsener like aroma, slightly skunked and even a bit smokey... WTF!   WHOA, malted peat and ashtray immediately up front.   This comes across as a quasi english pale ale / czech pilsner.   Hop aspect is nil, malt is minor, and WTF factor is high.   It is light, somewhat refreshing, but not at all what I expected.   Lingering campfire or charred wood... WTF?!?!   This seems to be an intermingling of various styles, or a new style completely.   The ashtray reminds me of Full Sail Rip Curl or Redhook Chinook.   Oh, and this is newly bottled too!   Damnit, I want more barrel aged big beers from Fish Tale!!!

355ml brown bottle. Pours golden with some light hazing. White head, good size. Aroma has some light malt and light citrusy hops. Taste is some fruity malt, apple and citrus fruit notes. Traces of honey. Finish is grainy malt with a trace of grass. Medium body, mild carbonation, aftertaste is dryish malts.

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.

Bottle: Hazy amber colored pour with medium sized head. Malty, citrusy, caramely aroma. Spicy, hoppy, citrus finish.
