Nov 23, 2009 Bottle from South Bay Drug. Pours orangey yellow with a one finger frothy off-white head. Aroma is a bit bready with fruity and grassy hop. Medium body with foamy carbonation. Flavor is lightly bready with some vegy/grassy hop bitter. Pretty drinkable, but it’s not your average IS.

Oct 19, 2009 Bottle from South Bay Drugs: Poured a clear and golden straw blonde color with a thin half inch of head. There is a fresh and organic aroma true to a blonde style, and I say that because of the balance of cracked grain malt and a grassy hop. The flavor is clean and crisp with a slight sweetness of malts and a minimum amount of organic green hops. This is by far the best blonde I have tasted, but then again only some breweries care to make this style and their recipes are usually boring.

Sep 23, 2009 Bottle from Olive Tree.Pours a clear medium golden color with a small white ring. Lots of corn on the nose as well as grain and faint hops. An easy drinking blonde ale, not a hole lot of flavor to speak of though.

Sep 15, 2009 Served from a 22oz bottle I picked up from OTM. Appearance is clear yellow gold with some small bubbles and a sparse white head. Nose is malty a a faint hop aroma. Flavors are watery malts, lightly toasted biscuit, some English hops presence, earthy/floral notes. Mouth is a little creamy but ends on more of a crisp tone.

Sep 1, 2009 22oz bomber from Imbibe. Clear golden with a one finger off-white head, pretty good retention. Aromas of biscuity malts and grassy hops. Flavor follows suit with kinda of a sweaty citrus addition. Finish is lightly bitter and biscuity. Light body with light carbonation. Would’ve liked a little more carbonation, but this is a solid blonde nonetheless.

Jun 15, 2009 Hazy light brown. Doughy, light herbal hops aroma. Crisp malty flavor with slight bitterness and herbal hops flavor. Puzzling ratings here, this was quite good.

Mar 23, 2009 Bomber courtesy of Odeed poured a lightly hazy gold with a small dim inishing white head. Aromas of straw, earthiness, light spice and a hint of citrus. Palate was light bodied and crisp with a lightly dry finish. Flavors of straw, biscuit, light earthiness and hints of citrus and spice with a crisp lightly dry lingering lightly bitter finish. Would be a great session beer on a hot day!

Feb 10, 2009 I had this on tap in early January at the brewpub. A 4-5 ounce sample was had. Nice hoppy nose with some spicy, herbal, and metallic hop aromas present. A little cereal maltiness is also in there. Transparent golden body with a small, white head and scant lacing present. Biting, spicy, hoppy start. Nice and flavorful with cereal graininess later on. Finishes with more herbal hop bitterness. Nice stuff. *Addendum* I am a bit perplexed regarding the low scores with this beer. It may be a blonde bias or a brewer change or something, but this is a very enjoyable brew.
