Middle Ages White Knight Light Ale

Brewed by Middle Ages Brewing
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
Syracuse, New York USA

Orange in color with a small white head.Hoppy,floral,yeasty aroma with a bitter finish.

Cloudy orange color with a thin head. Earthy citrus aroma, light bodied with thin carbonation. Bland ending.

I had no expectations for this beer. Light beers usually suck, but this was part of the "shades of pale" mix pack, so what the hell. Pours a pale golden color with a surprisingly copious head. Aroma is faintly reminiscent of some lagery style, but not quite. So far it's what I expected. Flavor is a bit more powerful and richer than I had expected, so that's definitely good. Mildly lagery, with a bit of estery fruitiness and top fermented goodness. Flavor dimishes quickly, leaving no aftertaste. Carbonation is high, which compliments the light body and crispness of the flavor. I'm surprised that Middle Ages can afford to make a light beer, but they did a damn good job with it. Completely exceeded my expectations.

slightly disappointing. very light, both in color and in palate, very drinkable. well hopped, but missing the malt. it's not particularly well-balanced. goes down easily, but is nothing very memorable.

Tasting three Blond Ales side by side today, I’d say this lo-cal White Knight holds its own quite well. More hopped than other blondes. This Middle Ages Brewery needs to ditch the cheezy labels, though.
