Nodding Head 700 Level

Brewed by Nodding Head Brewery
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania USA

on tap-pours a creamy white head that laces and pale yellow color. Aroma is saaz hop, herbal, spruce? Taste is mild grain, mild saaz hops, herbal, spruce?. Good character light beer. OK/mild carbonation.

smell is of total yuengling pale lager and boringness. First hit of flavor is very light, watery, and much like the smell, but on the finish you get a little kick of hops and a little malt. still very passable.

pale yellow color. smells like berries. i think perhaps blueberries. tastes like blueberries too. intersting but not special

Pours gold with a white head. Lemon aroma. Mildly sweet flavor of pale malts. A tad amount of hops in the finish to balance it out. A very basic, but solid beer. Most Blonde Ales at brewpubs suck, but this was decent.

Thinnish but with a deceptively sticky feel. Cereal grains and white grape juice. Mild acidity, low hopping, some wheatiness. Fine, persistent carbonation.

On tap at the Nodding Head Brew pub, Philadelphia, PA. Clear golden yellow ale having small white head with spare lacing. No discernable carbonation. Sour aroma with hints of sweet malt. Medium bodied that starts with slight sweet malt and citrus flavors. Off-flavor detected (oxidation product?). Finishes with slight sweet malt after taste. No discernable hops and bitterness. Not a particularly good beer, perhaps spoiled due to oxidation.

Poured a golden color with a medium sized, white head, that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of sweet malts, blueberries, and citrus. Taste, surprisingly had blueberries all over it, sweet malts, and a bitter citrus finish. Really, not as bad as the 700 level would lead you to believe.

A golden colored ale with a thin white head. A lot of citrus in the aroma that follows through to the taste. A little weak on the palate offering no real aftertaste.
