Bottle. Pours out a slightly hazy golden color. No head, just some lacing. Smells alright...is that corn? I hope not...lets drink it and find out Not so bad. I can see where the blonde/golden comes from. Pretty refreshing. I’d have to disagree with my good friend tsarman (the previous rater) on this beer. I’ll grab sixpacks of this over many other things for some summer grillin/yard work brew

On tap at River Horse. Did not taste like that much of a golden ale. Easy to drink, but lacks a strong sense of flavor. Close to a regular lager in many ways.

Partially cloudy pale golden yellow with a quickly fading head. Aroma is lightly grainy with a whiff of creamed corn. Flavor is very grainy with notes of lemon/citrus and a hint of caramel. Moderately sweet, no bitterness. Body is surprisingly full, round and creamy with lively carbonation. No lacing or head retention. Not bad but it lacks flavor and aroma.

A nice pale golden color with very little head. Sweet aroma of honeysuckle and camomile. The taste is very clean and crisp. Some more of the honey comes through in the taste and has a great hops balance. There seems to be a slight spiciness in the aftertaste. Overall this is a very acceptable summer beer.

On tap at the Porterhouse Brew Pub. Poured a light yellow with a small white head. Light fruity aroma and tastes. Nothing special.

Draft at the Grey Lodge in Philly. Boring beer. Tastes and looked like a blonde. Nothing special

Very light color... looks like Bug Light or something. Very smooth but not flavorful. A little bit sweet. My girlfriend thought it tasted like iced tea. It is a very drinkable beer though, goes down easy and quite refreshing.

Not a bad blonde ale, nothing too impressive though either, golden color, nice fluffy white head, fruity nose, very smooth & almost creamy body, a bit on the bland side, not a whole lot of flavors going on, but not a bad drinkable beer
