Commercial Description:
Aud Blonde may be the lightest colored beer we have ever brewed at Russian River Brewing Company, but don't be fooled into thinking that this beer is light in flavor. It has a refined characteristic, which can be contributed to us blending pilsner malt with a unique hop called crystal. The distinctive characteristic of the crystal hop lends a citrus, almost eucalyptus quality in the aroma and mouth feel of the brew, while leaving the beer with a long dry finish.

Draught. Straw and hop nose. Light butter notes. Clear pale gold with no head. Strong pilsner malt character, straw/grass with a bit of hop character and some fruit esters, mostly grapes. Tart finish. Nice texture, dry.

draft @ brewery - straw gold and clear and again with no head; aromas are a grassy mix of lemons, citrus and mild hops; drinks dry with pleasant semi-sweet finish; a little on the bland side, but that’s easy to be against the rest of the menu

~Pours a light golden color with lasting white head. ~Light sweet hoppy scent. ~Light hop flavor, watered down, but decent flavor. ~Light feel, quick finish. ~A great summer brew. I could drink many of these down by the water.

On tap at RR. Pours a gold color with a small white head. Aroma of malt, toast, mild hops. Flavor is a little yeast and mild malt. Mouth is a little light. Finish is lightly bitter. Not a bad session brew.

Big thanks to golubj. Pours cyrstal clear golden/yellow with a small but strong head. Aroma is lightly bread-y malts with light earthy hops. Taste is a nicely dry with a nice blend of pils malt and lightly sweet white-bread maltiness. Also has a lightly bitter and very calm hoppy finish. I really like it, easy drinking with a pils/Belgian mix.
Growler form brewpub.
