SKA True Blonde Ale

Brewed by SKA Brewing
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
Durango, Colorado USA

Robe blonde très claire surmontée d’une mousse blanche persistente. Arômes de céréales. Saveurs de céréales. Légèrement houblonnée. Honnête.

Pours hazy golden with medium white head. Nose is wildflowers and honey. The flavor is honey, mild malt, that ascerbic bite of unsmooth ales. Very watery mouthfeel. Almost no bitterness. Ok.

Had a sour and Yeast aroma. Cloudy golden color with thin white head that disiapated rather quickly. Flavor had a sour and bitter taste with a sense that there was some film on the drink. Flavor had more bitter in the taste as the sourness was left on the palate. This was an intriging beer for me.

Bottle. Pours gold with a thin rocky white film. Light malt (meal, cereal) and yeast (dough) with a sour floral hop nose. Sweet floral hop lightly acidic sweet honey flavor with a malt (grain, cereal) body and ends with a hoppy sweetness, floral. Light and refreshing creamy palate.

pours out yellow without any head at all. taste is sort of rich and malty, fairly smooth to drink too. crisp finish. good if it was hot outside, or you just felt like drinking a 12 pack of something. not bad, not the best, but certainly drinkable.

Rich yellow color without much head, indeed, even appearing flat relatively soon after pouring. Dry aroma, some hops obvious in a straw way, but also suggesting something floral. The flavor jumps out a bit more sweetly with some malt life, with a palate that matches with a bit of thickness and oil, but still the ending is mostly dry with a hint of metal in the bitterness. Overall the effect is not very satisfying, being both limp for lack of carbonated zing, and a bit off-putting in the flavor dimensions.

Pour is lifeless golden with a ig bubbled weak white head...sweet honey and grass in the nose...very smooth and easy to drink...sweet honey up front with some grassy bitterness toward the finish...not too bad...

Light orange gold color. Small sized white foamy head. Aroma is fruity and sweet, a little floral. A light to medium bodied blond ale. Malts are fruity and sweet. Lots of honey flavors. Hops are slightly spicy and for a blonde ale it is fairly aggressively hopped. It is light flavored and refreshing, It would be a decent choice for a beer on a hot summer day. Mouthfeel is full. Finish is clean and crisp. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.
