Tampa Bay True Blonde Ale

Brewed by Tampa Bay Brewing Co.
Style: Kölsch
Tampa, Florida USA

Tap at brewery: Straw hued with a small head and spotty lace. The aroma has notes of grassy hope, lemon, floral esters and wet grain. The taste starts with twangy acidity over pale bready malt with some medicinal notes. Slightly bitter on the back end. The mouth feel is watery and thin, short finish. Okay for the style, for the masses.

Draft. Yellow-gold with a ncie white head. Light malt, slight spice aroma, Malt flavor with light breadiness and slight bitterness. Easy drinking, refreshing. Lingering malt, grain, some hops. Would score much better if scored to style. As is: not bad, but fairly basic - would be great on a hot summer day.

On tap at TBBC. Pours a hazy golden with a smaller creamy white head that laced. Aroma of lemon, grassy, cereal grains, floral spicy hops. Flavor of cheerios, pretzels and mixed citrus.
