Metolius Damsel Fly Blonde Ale

Brewed by Portland Brewing Company (Pyramid)
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
Portland, Oregon USA

Pale body, thin white head. Aroma is honey, pale malts, some floral notes. Taste is corn water, honey. Not complex, not horrible, seems to be a fresh bottle.

Bottle: Clear gold color, thin white head and some lacing. The nose is stale and funky, like the liquid in the bottom of a trash can after a few days outside in the sun, or maybe cooking cabbage. Lots of DMS is maybe what I’m getting at. The flavor is lightly sweet, but thin and that smell is hard to kick. Why does this say it was brewed in Colorado? I thought this was from PBC?

12 oz bottle. Pours a clear straw color with an orange tint. High carbonation, low head, no lacing. Slight hop nose, but there is another aroma I cannot pinpoint, maybe pine. Extremely light body with really no taste. People who like Coors Light will probably like this one.

Typical deep yellow blond ale colour beer, tiny bubbly white head. Slightly hoppy aroma but then a strange "medicinal" aroma takes off and its not nice. A very sweet example of a blonde. swet with a hint of lemon, malty small hints of hop. The palate is actually OK for the style, not too bad. This is prretty bland stuff..couldnt see me drinking more than one..though its not a horrible beer.

Bottle: Pale golden, very vibrant, thin to moderate fizzy white head, settles quickly, spotty lacing, light carbonation.   This beer is amazingly clear...   Wet sock, cardboard, moldy bread on the nose.   Blech...   Sweet grass, initially, leading into a mess of cereal flavors and cardboard.   Body and mouthfeel are surprisingly moderate.   Ugh... the maltiness seems so artificial and tacky.   Not very clean, nor crisp.   Lingering paper products on the tongue.   I would sum this up as Blech.

An interesting floral and grassy hoppiness, with a really light malt character. Somewhat wheaty and full of cereal malts, this was just kind of boring. Has a bit of acidic zing, but just kind of typical.
