Ramapo Valley Blonde Lager

Brewed by Ramapo Valley Brewery
Style: Pale Lager
Hilburn, New York USA

The happiness from lmgraz1 goes on...golden color, no head, not even as I poured it. Sweet scent, alot of caramel and maybe some vanilla. Taste is very much the same, with caramel being the major component of the first part of the taste, the tail is a little malty. I think a little more malt taste would help this out, maybe give it a little more body, which is currently on the thin side for a lager...maybe they just need to work on the name.

Golden color, creamy head, soft carbonation. Grass hay and clay nose. Very light grassy taste, weak and kind of an unpleasant copper taste in there.

We start with total confusion here. The name says "Lager" , listed as an Ale. Hmmm. tastes like an Ale. Honey gold color with a diminutive head, that fades quickly. Fruity flavor malt taste and aroma. Smooth unassuming beer.

An unimpressive lager. Sweet floral aroma - not very strong. Golden bodied - short head, many rising bubbles. Taste was lemony sweet tart malts with an herbal hop finish.

Poured a medium yellow color with a large white head. Lightly hazy. Light malty/sweet smell. Littly funky. Light honey tastes. Thin body. Pass.

A middle-of-the-road golden ale, with aroma and taste of malt, slight hopcit, and a twinge of honey flavor at the finish.

Bottle. Straw yellow color and poured with a decent sized head. Like their other beers, taste was a bit thin and way too light, even for this style.

A bitter, bitter blond that has virtually no head and is a tad cloudy and murky. Flavorful, yet one-dimensional and uncomplicated in its focus on hops to the exclusion of much malt body. As of 11/03, the bottled version of this beer has been recalled by the brewery.
