Brewed at Matt Brewing Company
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
San Antonio, Texas USA

full white head on a clear gold color, average lacing. slight lemon on aroma not much to taste. lighter than i expected from pete.

Poured with smallish white head that was creamy, but interspersed with larger bubbles of carbonation. Head didn’t disapeer too quickly and showed some nice lacing. Nose is of floral hops, and citrus. Initial taste is light, body is a little watery. Finish is slightly bitter but not as bitter as I would expect from a beer that smells as hoppish as this one does. The bitterness of the finish and light lemon taste hang around for a while. This really isn’t a bad beer. But it’s not exactly a great one either. I could put several of these away while watching a game though.

Kind of a normal, decent bar beer. Not particularly good, but nothing bad that would prevent you from drinking it. I don’t remember much flavor-wise, it was just kind of boring.

Pale golden color with a thin white head. Bready nose with some burnt sugar smell. The lemon is more subtle than I expected, but it comes through in the finish loud and strong. Sugary caramel sweetness with noticable hop flavors. Not as light as most summer seasonals. Something oddly bitter about the lemon in the finish. Maybe showing its age.

Frothy, small head with good lacing. Slightly husky aroma with some floral hops. A little like honey. Touch of citrus comes through. The flavor is lemony and bitter. Warm biscuit malts abundant. Finishes with a bitter bite.

Minimal lacing, The head dissapears into it’s own dismal demise. Flavor is lacking even for a blonde. Color is okay, kind of that drink more water urine yellow. Overall, I would say it’s not their best effort, but as a slight bonus, the bottle is well done.

Light, refreshing summer swill. Solid taste, but a little one-dimensional for me. Better as it warmed, which didn’t take long in 98* Texas heat. Immediately reached for something else.

Golden color with amber highlights, Pleasant nose and taste – finishes with nice citrus notes. Good for summer or watching playoffs in October – rally.
