12 oz bottle. Is it a blonde or a Kolsch? New label says Blonde Ale, old label said Kolsch. So WTF is it?? Smells of caramelized grain. Appearance is a slightly hazy golden hue. Tastes of caramel, grain; highly carbonated. Not much head to speak of; lacing is halfway decent. It’s a little expired; not sure if it’s affecting the beer in any way or not. This has always been my least favorite beer from Pyramid. It’s not tasting too bad tonight, however.

An average beer. Average, for a microbrew... exceptional for a national beer. Leaves a bit of tongue roughness in wheatness.

short 12oz, twist-off bottle. Very bready aroma. Nice smell. Deep yellow color, thin white head. Flavor of pale malts and a sharp, spicy hop. Very sharp, very spicy. Lots of pale malts and a huge bread character. A hint of fruit in the finish, even some earthy grass notes, and some cereal grains. Light-medium bodied, easy drinker. I think I’d rather cook with it, maybe a pot roast.

12 oz. Pale gold with white head thats starts creamy bud fades fast. Aroma and flavor are mostly pale malt, a bit bitter sweet, cereal notes, and some wheaty banana character. Light bodied with medium carbonation. Overall: refreshing and sessionable, but lacking in umph and individuality.

12 oz bottle - pours a golden yellow with little head and no lacing. Aroma of grass, light hops, slight fruitiness and some biscuit. Taste of malt, hops, caramel, grass and biscuit/yeast. Light easy to drink beer that doesn’t offend - but is refreshing like a Blonde ale should be.

Had this in a streak of Pyramid beers awhile back and all I took down was numerical ratings.

Brewed in the USA...... Dog days of Summer Bash !!! Pours a pale yellow color with thin white head. Aroma of glue, malts, grass and vegetables. Taste is much of the same with the addition of band aids. This was inspired by the Kolsch ? Don’t waste your time on this one, it stinks.
