Simple aroma of grain and grass with not much else. Grassy hops flavor with presence of grain and breaded wheat. Highly carbonated though average aftertaste that just tastes unripe to me.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 20, 2009 Honestly not bad for a blonde ale, I would actually consider drinking another of these and I can’t say that I’ve felt that way about this style before. Nice yellow color with a medium white head and some okay lacing. Cereal like aroma with some floral traces and a decent malty taste with a dry finish and some floral hoppiness to it. One of my least favorite from the RR sampler tray, but still not a bad beer. nickd717 (1385), Palo Alto, California, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Feb 5, 2009 Very solid for a blonde ale. Not too exciting, but very drinkable. Pours yellowish with a white head, some C-hops on the aroma. Flavor is slightly sweet pale malt and floral hop bitterness. Light and smooth. ironchefscott (342), portland, Oregon, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 31, 2009 Enjoyable beer. Tap at O’Briens 15th, golden color, a bit cloudy? A bit of a whit taste to it. Dry finish. A little odd and I’m not a big fan of the style. Fun to try. Snojerk321 (2018), San Diego, California, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 19, 2009 Pours golden with white head and nice lacing. Smell is light sweet clean malt and a touch floral. Taste is cleanish but slight musty and floral. Very light honey and yeast flavor w touch hops. Med. Body and soft carbonation, but this was surprisingly good fresh on tap. I liked it quite a bit better than I thought I would.
