Pours a fatty blond body with edges of orange and a bountiful ivory head. The nose and flavor are slightly doughy yeasty. Very aromatic and exceptionally floral! Loads of grapefruit and guava… big suggestions of other milled grains and slightly musty. The mouth-feel was rather chewy and left the lips somewhat sticky.
I’m surprised that may of the rather didn’t enjoy this brew, I thought it reasonably tasty! dirtymike (2018), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 19, 2004 Bottle - Golden yellow with a sparce whitish head and very little lacing. Aroma is of light maltiness with an initial dose of hops when the bottle is opened. Unfortunately this hop aroma does not continue through the event. Flavor has a yeasty sourness that is not unpleasant. Finish is mildly hoppy (bitter) and dry. Drinkable, but not my favorite. CaptainCougar (5526), Rockville, Maryland, USA

A very nice blond ale. freekyp (903), Thomasville, North Carolina, USA
