Red Brick Blonde

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

bottle. pours a hazy light amber/orange hue with a fluffy meringue style head which, as it recedes, reveals a thick lacing. the aromas are lacking a bit in character; hops are noticed, but thick malts take the front seat. this is the closest i’ve ever come to tasting the typical american-style beer. it resembles a blond, but is not exactly that which i am accustomed to when referencing a blond(e) ale. the flavor is a bit watery, but still has a bitterness to the finish. i think the appearance is unfortunately the best aspect of this craft(?) beer.

A nice lighter tasting offering from ABC. Somewhat astringent in the finish but still not offensive. A good summer BBQ beer.

Draft at the Red Brick Tavern at the Atlanta airport. Golden color slight fruity aroma that is refreshing. Taste has a fruity tinge, refreshing nice staying of flavor on the tongue and throat. Pretty Good.

Bottle. Poured a golden color with a thin white head that left light lacing. The aroma was slightly skunky with grass and wheat standing out the most. The flavor found straw, and lemon. A hint of bitterness throughout. Light and slightly watery.

Very light yellow color. Very light in color! Balanced malt/hop aroma. Balanced in flavor as well. Malt sweetness at first then a decient hop bitterness in the finish. dry finish.

Clear, light gold color. Some maltiness and a decent hop flavor for the style. Not the most interesting beer, but not horrible.

12 oz bottle, in person trade with Wunderbier (Habersham Beverage on Habersham, Savannah GA, April 2006), served at cellar temperature in a Unibroue glass. Very clear blonde with a moderate white quick-dying head leaving little residue in the glass....honey, light almonds and faint crisp grassy notes in the low-strength aroma....body is clean and refreshing, fairly sweet at first with growing dry hoppiness towards the finish, a bit of smoky/burnt malt character, toasted caramel and a somewhat strong mineralic/meteallic note that is near-overpowering....rather syrupy, thick body with somewhat low carbonation. Not terribly successful overall.

on tap at the Atlanta airport bar. clear yellow color, off white creamy/foamy head. little to no aroma, maybe a little refined white sugar and malt. flavor is dryish and grassy, light mouthfeel. medium to high carbonation. dry grassy finish. thin layer of lacing. unimpressive.
