Red Brick Blonde

Brewed by Atlanta Brewing Company
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
Atlanta, Georgia USA

Yellow pour with a bit of haze and nice white head. Paired well with the appetizers and food of the evening. The hop level was a touch high which allowed it to cut through any oils in some of the fish dishes. Very refreshing after a long day, I put a number away and didn’t have any ill effects.

Bottle purchased at Total Wine & More (Ft. Myers,FL)k - Medium sized frothy, fizzy white head with poor retention, one ring of lacing, hazy, carbonation observed, and a yellow hue. The aroma is malty, hoppy, spicy and peppery notes. The flavor is hoppy, grassy, crisp, and semi-refreshing. The mouthfeel is tingly and this is a medium beer. The flavor outshines the aroma, but not to the point where I would seek this beer again. It is not a bad beer, but rather boring and not a lot going on with it.

Tap @ OTH. pours clear golden, white head. Aroma, grassy hops, hints of grain and pale malts. Flavor, light almost corn like palate, thin hops bitterness, hints of pale malt in the finish.

Bottle… Lightly hazed yellow ale with a mid-sized, fizzy, white head that quickly diminishes to a small, tight, creamy cap and then sticks around for a good while. The aroma is composed of peppery hops, a subtle note of butterscotch and a metallic, dried-sweat nuance. Light to medium-bodied with a mildly creamy mouthfeel and moderate carbonation. There’s a moderately bitter hop component in the otherwise thin, listless flavor. Crisp, lightly bitter, watery finish.

12 oz bottle. Pours a pale yellow color with a thick long lasting white head. It has a pleasant aroma that smells a little of hay and honey. It has a nice crisp taste and tastes of citrus, pepper, bread and grass with a wonderful aftertaste. I really enjoyed this one.

Cereal, grainy, bready aromas hints of honey and very mild citrus hops coming through. Pours very light blonde with a thin white head.

Decent enough blonde ale with a good amount of flavor. Bitter hops come through on the finish.

Bottle. Pours a clear golden shade with a head of snow white foam. Settling to a thin film, the foam leaves splotchy lacing on the glass. The aroma shows lightly sweet pale malt, with a decent amount of floral hop presence and a touch of peppery citrus peel. There’s a weird, fermenting fruit thing going on that’s a little off-putting. The flavor is balanced and easy going, but boring, showing a malt base of toasted bread and mild toffee, with a grassy, peppery hop bite. Light bodied and prickly, the mouthfeel is a little overly active, finishing semi-dry and crisp. It’s not a bad blonde, but it’s pretty pedestrian.
