Newport Beach Blonde

Brewed by Newport Beach Brewing Company
Style: Pilsener
Newport Beach, California USA

Crystal clear straw body with minimal white head. Aroma is medium sweet, biscuit, light grassy. Taste is medium sweet, bread, some grassy, no bitterness. Watery light body, some crispness in the finish.

As far as blondes go, I know one thing, you cannot trust them. This one, was a clear light yellow with no head (unlike most blondes I know). Tasted of sweet malt extract but the finish was remarkably light and pleasant.

Light aroma of bready straw like malt. The flavor is the same. It pours gold. It drinks light. It finishes crisp. Not bad

(Draft: Newport Beach Brewing Company in Newport Beach, CA) A very light blond ale, very little flavor at all. An odd grainy flavor emerges in the finish. Watery palate. The nose is pretty light, but kind of stinky like cheap beer. Medium yellow in color and fully clear. No head at any point. My description is pretty lame, but it’s not worth agonizing over. Hard to believe, but this tastes worse than their Cream Ale!

I had this on draft at NBBC. thin, watery, flavorless, I guess it’s their house equivalent to Bud or Coors. not much going on here.

On tap at NBBC. Interesting that it is classified as a pilsener. Clear gold in color with not much white head. Aroma of grain and slightly sweet malt. Flavor was clean tasting, but not great. Mostly grain and corn flavors. Not much hopping evident. By far the weakest offering at an otherwise quality brewpub.

Clean malt, light fruitiness. Refreshing crisp finish. Light in body and flavor but nothing wrong or unappealing.

Clear golden wuth a white head. Grainy pale malt and honey sweet aromas. Light/medium body. Pale malt grist flavors with a hint of honey. Crisp clean finish. Shaker glass is gone in sixty seconds.
