Commercial Description:
Dukes Draft Blonde Ale is a crisp, light and refreshing ale. An excellent warm weather midday quencher with a delicate touch of hops to balance the light maltiness.

Draught at Dukes in Lihue, Kaua’i. Clear golden color with thin white head that dissipated quickly and left no lace. Light cereal grain aroma and flavor. Tastes fresh, and was nice in the hot sun, but was uninspiring overall.

On tap at Kona’s main brewery. Very weak offering, totally uninteresting and nothing to really enjoy. I’ll pass on this one next time to the Big Island.

Not a bad beer by any means but not very interesting at all either. I understand why it exists--to cater to the largely unadventurous types who come to the brewpub mainly for their wonderful food. Sweet aroma with an extremely light body and very little hop character. No flaws, but not a lot going on either.

Draft at brewery: Golden and mostly clear; fading head but lace lingered a little. Lively carbonation; OK body/texture. Sweet grains accented by flowers (made me think of honeysuckle). Light and unexciting but surely drinkable.

Draught, Kona Brewpub, HI. Head is mostly diminishing. Body is hazy medium yellow. Aroma is lightly malty (toasted grain), trace hops (flowers), with a light note of lemon. Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly acidic, lightly bitter. Light to medium body, watery texture, lively carbonation.

Had this on-tap at the brewery. This beer poured a hazy, light gold with a tiny, mostly diminishing head. The aroma was quite simple: light malty notes of grain, light hoppy notes of herb and pine with a teeny tiny trace of banana. The flavor was also very simple: it started lightly sweet and moderately bitter with an average-length finish with a trace of bitterness. The palate was light with a watery texture and lively carbonation. I think this beer is what a Golden Ale is supposed to be, but it wasn’t very engaging to me personally.

Medium golden and moderately active, with a very thin head. Thin and just lightly malted in a koelsch-style, but with little distinctiveness. Still a good well-made micro.

A fair beer, as its way to light and mild for me, but the average drinker will find it pleasant. malt s and hops well balanced but light.
