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.

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 17, 2002 I don’t know how to rate this beer. I just saw that it got added to the site. This is a very special brew for me. I used to drink A LOT of this stuff about 4-5 yrs ago. It was before the brewpub had the 22 oz bottles, and they brewed only their original 3 flavors in 6-packs: Champ Ale, Firehouse Amber, and Blonde Bombshell. This was one of my all-time favorite beers, long before any of the well-known ’bomber’ flavors came out. I would love to try this again, after all these years.
