3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
A: The pour is a slightly cloudy pale golden straw color with a fluffy white head.
S: A bit of corn on the nose which isn’t really surprising, but after that, some nice bread notes take over. Some spicy and floral hop aromas. There’s also a slight earthy note.
T: Good cracker and biscuit flavor in terms of the malt character, along with a mild apple juice sweetness. A pretty good hop flavor provides a bit of floral, earthy, and spicy complexity.
M: The body is fairly light, maybe approaching medium, with a medium level of carbonation.
D: Normally I’m not a big blonde ale fan, but this was quite nice. Had some nice kolsch and pilsner qualities to it.

3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at 21st Ammendment. Clear golden color with a small head. Very light floral aroma. I can’t smell much in here, so this may be much more interresting if I went outside. I’m not getting the spicyness advertised on the menu. Flavor is lightly bitter, with a floral aftertaste. Crisp mouthfeel. This is a good session ale, but there is better on the menu tonight.
