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.

May 29, 2008 Not much to hang your hat on a blonde ale, except the fact that they are usually really easy to drink, refreshing and that’s usually it. This is no different. The aroma had a bit of sewer-like aroma wafting up but after a few swirls it went away. What was left was a very subtle fruit aroma. Appearance was a medium gold color, clear with a one-finger thick white head. Flavors had some moderate honey character, subtle fruit notes and that’s about it. A clean, crisp finish.

May 22, 2008 Tasted at the May Northern California Beer Tasting. This blond ale pours a golden yellow color from a 12oz bottle. Small sized white foamy head. The aroma is fruity and sweet, touch of vanilla. A medium bodied blond/golden ale. The malts are fruity and sweet. The hops are mild and slightly spicy. Crisp and clean. A light and refreshing tasting beer, with no major taste defects, but not a lot of flavor either. Nice balance. Good carbonation. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly sweet and fruity.

May 15, 2008 At the NorCal tasting. Poured pale yellow with full head. Nose was interesting and fruity, as was the flavor. The was a earthy, no, gritty mid to finish.

Apr 22, 2008 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.
