Commercial Description:
This medium bodied, golden blonde ale was first introduced as a Summer Seasonal this last year. It was such a hit, we decided to brew it year round for local taverns. You'll find it in bottles again next summer. Crisp and refreshing with an aromatic hop finish.

Bottle: Deep blonde with a golden hue. Smallish white head. Aroma is light, but floral and bits of grass. Flavor is maltier than expected, some light florals and again grassy. Not bad. One of the better blondes that I choose to remember.

From a 12oz bottle purchased at Belmont Station in PDX--Poured a clear copper-amber body with a medium whitish head. Fruity, creamy, sweet with a hint of caramel and nuts. Malty thin body and weak finish. Very drinkable but dull.
