a chunk monster, I don’t know what else to say. I tried to look past it but the chunks the chunks. Will re rate.

Aroma of sweet citrus and peach. Taste is similar with a bitter finish that lingers. This is a really nice blonde ale that I think is under rated.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy orange with one finger off white head. Nose is floral hops, malt and sweet citrus. Taste is caramel, orange which fades to grapefruit and finishes with a bitter resin that lingers for a bit. Medium mouth feel with decent lacing. Better than the ratings show. This is a very nice blond ale.

Pours a hazy pale gold with a thin frothy white head. The nose is sweet, citrusy, light alcohol, grapefruit, a little dry, hoppy. The flavor was citrusy, had a little diacetyl, a waxy bite, a bit dry, some mandardin orange, earthy. A bit watery in the mouth with a waxy bite. The finish was a bit citrusy.

The color was light golden with a thin, white, and fizzy head. The aroma was diacetyle acid, hops, and citris. The palate was average. The finish was hoppy.

Pours clear oily gold with a squatty white head. Sweet aroma of crystal hops, lemon, and corn syrup. Taste battles between sweet and bitter and it differs with nearly every sip. Grainy taste throughout mixed with the crystal malt, some grapefruit and pears, then back to the grainy, cereal finish. Decent, not great.

Chunky beer, bizarre.. Hazy dark apricot color, white head. Would have rated a lot higher if it weren’t for the chunks. Spiced, fruity notes, very bitter back end. My least favorite hair of the dog.

Received 12-oz bottle from Liquid Solutions.biz in Portland, Oregon. Pours a clear golden blonde brew with a creamy white head that has some nice retention and spotty lacing. Aroma of golden grain malt, some piney and citrus zest hops, with a touch of bubble gum. Taste is medium bodied, light carbonated with flavors of golden grain malt, a touch of caramel, fruity pears and some grapefruit. Finish is slightly bitter with a more grapefruit and light golden grain aftertaste.
