Oct 12, 2005 The Lure:
Milky straw evokes the Kölsch origins of this ale. Subtle fruitiness and minty sweetness for an obviously well-brewed house blond.
The Festivities:
A cushion-y mouthfeel offers beautiful pils malts and soft yeast brushes. Hoppiness is subdued, if not absent. The brewer’s abilities are definitely showcased in this one.
Transcendence:
Surgical precision is a beauty to behold.

Oct 11, 2005 Clear pale golden, headless. Supremely fresh, grainy, floral, herbal nose comes slightly tart, delicately refreshing, with no off-flavors around the edges and a deft, graceful light body. Great Kolsch, quaffable and well crafted, just not very tasty in nature.

Apr 1, 2005 All the years I’ve been going to the General Lafayette I’ve only had this blonde ale once before. GLI offers this beer to appease the non-beer geeks who venture into the brew pub. I can’t tell how many times I’ve heard a patron ask the bartender for a Coors Light and the bartender offers them a taste of Germantown Blonde. Definitely a light beer, a bit thin for me. The batch sampled was yeasty, which is not a norm according to the regulars I was sitting with at the GLI.

Dec 6, 2004 On tap at GLI. Gold with aroma of hopcit. Tastes hopcity with some malt, and a smooth, crisp finish. Light to medium palate, with some finishing hops.

Sep 5, 2004 Updated: Jan 23, 2006On tap at the General Lafayette Inn. Poured a ligher and slightly hazy yellow with a small head. No real interesting aroma or tastes. Too light and thin for my tastes. AR 4 AP 3 FL 3 PA 2 OI 8
I got another sample of this to give it a better description. This time I was able to get some lemon citrus, a light grassiness, and some malts in it. Somewhat of a smooth body. I noted my original numbers and have since increased some of the ratings.

May 20, 2004 Poured a pale yellow color with no head. Aroma of citrus, adjuncts, and some malt. Taste was crisp and refreshing, smooth malt and citrus. Kinda thin.
