Twisted Pine Blonde Ale

12oz bottle from a variety pack. Very pale, slightly cloudy amber with a quickly dissipating head. Light malt and citrus.

Tap at brewery during GABF 2009.
Pours a cloudy yellow with a slightly lively body. Aroma is pilsner refuse, with chunks of funktified hops and rotten, skunked-out malt. Flavor is tobacco and pilsner malt, with a corny finish. Average mouthfeel. What a dumb beer.

Crushed with Jakebra as a hangover cure. It didn’t work. Lots of poopy bready flavor in what little flavor there is. A pretty useless beer.

Aroma: A mild sweet aroma, with honey like character. Appearance: It a pours pale yellow with a slight haze, with a medium white head that did not persist. Flavor: The initial taste was of bread/yeast. Then it transitioned to light malty (sweet) character with mild graininess. Mouth feel: It has a light body that finished sweet. Overall Impression: I did not like the bread/yeast taste; once it faded, it became was nice beer to drink. I don’t see my looking for this style of beer.

Bottle. Light yellow color. Small white head which dimishes quickly. Light flavor with slight malt/alcohol taste. Average finish with little aftertaste. Light body and soft/light carbonation.

Draft. A hazy golden beer with a lazing white head. The aroma has notes of straw and malt as well as hints of citrus. The flavor is sweet with notes of straw and malt, leading to a dry bitter finish. The body is thin.

Clear pale yellow colored body with a medium-tall white head. Awful buttered popcorn nose... heavy with diacetyl, overpowering what would be some lemon citrus notes... horrible smell. Flavor is more buttered popcorn and crackers... tastes like Chicken-in-a-Biscuit. Body is lacking, medium fullness, weakens on the back... overall it’s just a downright awful beer, I hope it’s got to be better on draft.

Bottle: pale golden in color with a small white head. Doughy nose, smells kind of old, with some very light citrus notes. Biscuity maltiness, semi-sweet and very light throughout.
