Commercial Description:
While the style of this Strong Blonde Ale is non-specific it has an overall profile that closely resembles a Blonde Bock by having some characteristic traits of a Pre-Prohibition Pilsner and the strength of a Malt Liquor. The unique traits of this beer are the pleasingly fruity aromas of apricot and passion fruit that give way to honey flavors, a subtle hint of corn liquor, and a lightly spicy but cleansing hop finish. What is Inevitable about this ale is that the deceptively higher alcohol content (7.1% ABV) is sure to affect its imbiber. Brewed at Sudwerk for ReaperAle.

Smells and tastes like a pilsner. Not that their is anything wrong with that! Not much from the hops. Presence of a yeasty/doughy flavor. Maybe a little citrus and a little spice, but nothing to write home about.

Appears a transparent medium gold with a small white cap that sticks around in the form of a tiny film. Spotty streaks of lacing are left around the glass. Smell is of yeasty hoppy mix of pils malt and evident alcohol. Taste is a doughy version of the above mentioned, un-complex aromas. Mouthfeel has an alcohol bite with the pils malt and mild hops trying to do something in my mouth other than drown out.

22oz bottle shared courtesy of egajdzis. Poured a medium golden color with an averaged sized white head. Aromas of grass, grain, citrus and spices. Tastes follows the same with stronger alcohol.

Poured a golden color with a small, white head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus fruits, spices, some yeast, cinnamon, doughy malts, grains, and some grassy hops. Taste of honey, some caramel malts, light citrus fruits, medium bitterness and sharp alcohol in the finish.

Thanks to egajdzis. Pours a golden orange with an average off white bubbly head. Aroma was grainy, sweet with some citrus hops. Flavor was more of a dry, citrus hop with some light bitterness.

The beer poured a golden orange color w/ yellow highlights. The head was thin and lasting, but there was only slight head. The aroma was honey, grainy, slight citrus, light malts, and spicey hops. The flavor was citrusy, caramel, light malts, grain, and honey w/ spicey saaz hops. The mouthfeel was light and dry with good carbonation, and refreshing. I got this on tap at Liar’s Club.

This blonde ale pours a deep orange gold color from a 22oz bottle. Medium to large sized white foamy head. Aroma is bubble gum, sweet and fruity. A medium bodied golden/blond ale. Malts are fruity and sweet. Lots of apricot, pineapple and peach flavors, with a touch of spices. Hops are floral and slightly bitter. This is a big bold blond ale, well as big and bold as a blond ale can get. It tastes much more like a bock or a dortmunder/helles. A touch sweet, but it does have a touch of bitterness and some sweet malt in the background. Hides the 7.1% alcohol very well. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is sweet with a touch of alcohol bite.

Great aroma, slightly tart and malty. Almost smells like a pilsener, with a noble hop aroma, slightly metallic. Just a touch of sweetness, like a helles. Burpingly good in its unremarkable uniqueness. I think I may have another. I would suggest to the brewer to use a characterful Belgian strain and this could be stellar.
