Commercial Description:
A clean crisp German Style Pale Ale. Common to the Cologne area of Germany, our Blonde Ale is brewed in the tradition of Kolsch beers found in that region. Great on a hot summers day or any day for that matter.

i long for the day when micros won’t have to make a beer for swill drinkers. there is almost always one "blonde" (or as is getting more popular, call it a kolsch)in everyones line up. and it is almost always a dissapointment. bottle, pours a slightly hazy yellow with a white head. slight hay nose with some herbal metallic notes. taste is lemony hop and a dull grain flavor. metallic notes in the finish, dry bitterness lingers.

on tap-pours a white head and hazy yellow color. Aroma is sweet grain. Taste is sweet grain with a nice kolsch twang and slight hops bite. OK carbonation.

Pours with thin lacing, hazy light yellow body. Fainy grainy, lemon aroma. Taste is very light hops, fruit. Actually, it’s very tasteless- not good, not appauling, just lacking in taste. Like water. I don’t know what the point of this beer is.

Decent, with a bit of light citrus fruit in the nose, biscuity malts, some grassiness, but very light and easy to drink, just not much there overall.

4 oz sample at the brewery, 4/15/06: Listed as a "German style pale ale"?? What is that? A Kolsch? This is creamy, sticky headed. Not so German, me thinks. Vaguely citrusy but pretty empty.

I really like the aromas in this beer, but that was about all I found engaging about it. The color is cloudy pale gold with a light, thin head and weak carbonation. The aromas contain notes of honey, vanilla, and clean citrus. The palate is watery and thin. The flavor is easy, lightly hoppy with just a little additional payoff on the honey aroma.

Tap. Pours pale gold with a tiny white head. Hoppy sour malt aroma. Yeast and sour malt flavor. Light bodied.

Poured a light golden yellow with a full white head. Lacing was too slippery and didn’t stick to the glass. A fantastic nose. This ale smelled like a Sauvignon Blanc aged in wood barrels along with some apricots and peaces in the aroma. Truly excellent. A really nice beer for the style. Really refreshing and remarkably drinkable. A nice zest to the beer with lemons and caramel very present in the mouth. A great starter beer for sure. I won’t be having this one again but I certainly will be recommending it. Not bad at all.
