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.

On tap. Golden with a light white head. Aroma was crystal hops and light bready malts. Light citrus flavour but a tad corny in the flavour.

On tap at the brewery. Intersting example of a blonde ale and it’s just too bad that they aren’t all this well made. A slightly sweet aroma with some light citric fruit notes. Appearance is light gold in color, bright and clear with a normal sized head. Mouthfeel is light, crisp and refreshing. Flavors were equally as crisp, light and refreshing. Nothing overpowering here, just a clean tasty blonde ale.

Taste at pub. This is the beer for the buddy you bring along that doesn’t like anything other then light beer. Its a start I guess. Just your basic blonde ale.

tap at the brewpub - I find it interesting that this one is rating as high as it is so far. The commercial description sounds good, but to me it tasted like a fairly typical blonde ale. That is to say it was a light flavor and while not as ridiculously thin as some beers, it was still watery. The aroma, flavor, and finish are all light. It’s not bad, but there’s not much to really say.
