12oz bottle, thanks to Mom. Pours a translucent golden amber with a very small, quickly dissipating head. Aroma and flavor of sweet caramel malts. Thin on the palate and easy to drink Definitely well-suited for a hot afternoon in the Keys.

12oz from Daknole. Pours orange with a bright white head. Nose is sweet with not much there, but something at least. Taste is pretty bland with a touch of sweet hops. Not horrible, not anything special either.

Bottle. Very mild aroma, difficult to discern. Golden body, small off-white head. Taste is bland, watery, vaguely bitter. A little malt arrives at the finish.

12 oz. single from Total Wine in Jacksonville, Florida. This was a nice, refreshing beer after a long day. Slightly bold aroma, with a bit of malt and hops; taste of a bit of citrus on the finish. A decent beer, but nothing too special about it.

From a bottle I brought home with me from North Miami Beach recently. Poured with an off-white to tan head and no lace. Aroma is at first dark ripe fruits, apricots, and a hint of cherry along with a bit of malt and hops. Shortly after that the aroma is strongly caramel malt. Flavor is similar but more pronounced malt and bittering hops. Body’s not bad, perhaps a tad over carbonated. Ok beer. Forgetable finish. Could do worse. One of the best beers I’ve had from down there so far.

Bottle: Medium-dark golden/amber. Aroma was lightly sweet with malt and a hint of hops. Flavor was malt and light bodied. This tasted absolutely nothing like a golden or blonde ale. Not a horrible beer but perhaps a style change is in order? I agree with nearbeer. This is an amber.

12 oz, bb 01/29/09. Clear, darkish copper with a small head. Light soapy lace. Mild aroma of spicy split wood, orange and resin. Tastes of earthy grain, sourish apple, caramel, toasted nut. Orange-cocoa on the finish. Light-medium body is a little too watery but has a nice dry finish. This seems more of an amber ale than a blond.
