Jun 15, 2002 On tap at the pub. Typical light (cloudy) light golden color, with fast-dying head. Nose is super-caramel; buttery, sugary, whoa! No hops to speak of in the nose or the taste, at first, but a slight bitter character gradually forms to compete with the powerful buttered popcorn/caramel/butterscotch maltiness. Clean finish. Really excellent example of the style, wish I could’ve had another (its not bottled yet as far as I know). McNeills rocks!

Jun 13, 2004 Hazy golden color with a small white head and nice lacing. Sweet and fruity, hop aroma. Sweet taste, hints of apricots and peaches, light hop bitterness. A very nice blonde.

Jan 26, 2004 Now this was some good beer , even though it is a blone ale. Peach color with huge head and lacing throughout. So very mellow hop taste. Said he won a bronze in 94 GABF. Bitter finish. Nicely done. Had this paired with Steamed Mussels with leeks and saffron.

Sep 9, 2008 In short: Basic cereals, not much else. Somewhat bland but drinkable.
How: Tap at Vermont Brewers Festival 2008
The look: Partly cloudy golden blonde body topped by a short-lived white head
In long: Basic cereals with a little sugary note. Another of those beers where the malt profile reminds me of Corn Flakes™. Low on hops with only a some grassy notes in the end. This is an average entry level golden ale, nothing special. Drinkable in large quantities but rather forgettable. It’s got some qualities but it’s got some problems too. Blonde Bombshell… hmm… nice tits but kind of a fat ass really.

Aug 2, 2009 Bomber from Barrios’ Massechussetts Trip Tasting. I believe this is infected. Aroma of bandaids, plastic, tart funkhouse lemon and hay. Flavor is massively tart upfront, but once you get past it, there is some hints of apricots, and lemon pledge. I think this is just a young infection and hasn’t made this totally undrinkable. It’s actually not that bad right now, kinda like a saison. Awesome label.
