Pike Naughty Nellies Ale

Pours gold with a white head. Smells of toasted malt, some fruity hints. Tastes breaddy and fruity with a sweet peppery finish.

22oz bottle. Hazy blond with a thick white head that quickly dies. Malty and fruity aroma with some apple and straw. Bland lighter malt with some fruitiness in the flavor and low hops. Pretty dry. Light bodied with high carbonation. Nothing really bad, but not very interesting or well balanced.

12oz bottle. Pours golden with a small white head that dissipates almost instantly. Aroma is of spice, yeast, citrus, malt, and hops. Not a bad aroma at all. Taste is of floral hops. Backbone is of bready malt. There is also spice, yeast, and corn. Mouthfeel is light and very carbonated. Not harsh, but not a whole lot of taste. Drinkable but not special. It does the job.

12 oz bottle. Deep yellow pour with a miniscule white head. Aroma wheat, grain, biscuity malt, perhaps a bit of fruit. Flavor is very grainy and biscuity with light bits of fruit. Not awful for the style, but not very enjoyable either.

Slightly orange gold pour, with white head. Grain, light biscuits, light fruit. and a bit of hops in the finish. Easy drinking, but really boring.

Gentle gold in the middle, pale yellow on the edges. Tiny head, mostly absent. Sweet light wheaty aroma, i pick up the suggested apricot. Light in intensity, light in roast, but there’s a respectable body and a bit of a swoosh of hops in the finish. And one of the better blondes I’ve had.

Slightly cloudy yellow orange. Little head. Aroma is muted or a little stale, some hops. Flavor is mostly hops, bitter and tart. Malts are there, but not really great tasting.

A pretty malty aroma. Flavor isn’t that good but a good crisp hop at the end is nice. Some malts, a little graininess. Just okay.
